Extract/Description

The purpose of this White Paper is to provide a bias-free framework for prioritising and categorising obligations for any sized organisation in any industry.

Key Points

  1. There are a number of problems with many current categorisations of obligations – there is no generally accepted method of categorisation.
  2. The paper proposes a hierarchical classification scheme for all obligations.
  3. Expanding the ISO 37301 definition of compliance obligations into six levels of obligation will drive a greater awareness and understanding of obligations by directors, business owners and managers.
