Corporate Governance

Protecting your business reputation and assets is as important to us at Cooper Grace Ward as it is to you.

Cooper Grace Ward provides quality, practical legal advice in compliance systems targeted to assist clients with their corporate governance requirements and to protect their businesses from the consequences of non-compliance.

Our experience includes more than ten years in successful implementation of compliance systems for our clients, enabling their businesses to meet legal obligations in specific areas including:

  • Workplace Health and Safety
  • Trade Practices
  • Financial Services
  • Privacy.

We have implemented and audited compliance systems for listed and unlisted public companies, and both public and private sector organisations.

In an era where corporate governance has increased in significance, Cooper Grace Ward's compliance systems are designed to meet the needs of our clients and the expectations of regulators, and to embed the required policies and procedures within the existing framework of your business.

We can also carry out reviews or audits of your compliance system to ensure it meets the requirements of the law in accordance with AS3806 2006 and other requisite Australian Standards.
