Business Compliance

The firm offers tailored legal audit services designed to identify regulatory risks and compliance gaps that may impact a business entity’s operations, governance, and overall legal standing. Our audits ensure that corporate structures, contracts, internal policies, and employment practices are aligned with prevailing laws, administrative issuances, and industry-specific regulatory frameworks.

We have successfully conducted audits for clients across a broad range of sectors, including business process outsourcing (BPO), manufacturing, food production, energy, mining, healthcare, and construction. This cross-sectoral experience allows us to deliver insights and practical guidance specific to each industry’s risk landscape.

A key feature of our compliance practice is the Labor Compliance Audit, which assesses an organization’s adherence to Philippine labor laws and regulations issued by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE). This includes:

• Statutory wage and benefit compliance
• Legitimacy of contracting and subcontracting arrangements
• Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) compliance
• Worker classification and termination protocols
• Labor relations policies and practices
• Readiness for DOLE inspections and compliance with labor advisories

Given the multi-faceted and often overlapping nature of labor regulations, even the most diligent employers may inadvertently fall short of full compliance. We advocate annual labor audits as a best practice in corporate governance and employee relations.

In addition, the firm offers Data Privacy Audits, aligned with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and relevant issuances of the National Privacy Commission (NPC). These audits assess the client’s compliance with lawful data processing, data subject rights, security measures, breach notification protocols, and organizational accountability mechanisms. This service is particularly relevant for BPOs, healthcare institutions, and entities handling sensitive personal data on a large scale.

Our team delivers actionable recommendations to address gaps, mitigate exposure to liability, and build a compliance framework that aligns with both operational realities and legal requirements.
