Legal Compliance And Corporate Governance Audit
Kenya’s legal and regulatory framework is both complex and continually evolving, comprising a mix of cross-cutting and sector-specific laws. With new statutes and regulations being enacted regularly, organizations—including state corporations and private companies, face increasing challenges in maintaining full compliance. Failure to adhere to these requirements can expose corporate officials to both civil and criminal liability.
To navigate this landscape, state corporations are mandated to conduct comprehensive Legal Audits every two years and Governance Audits annually, while private entities often choose to do so proactively to safeguard their operations.
At Robson Harris, we conduct in-depth reviews of our clients’ systems, policies, procedural manuals and other documentation against the existing laws to assess the level of compliance.
Our team of audit experts provides tailored recommendations to address the identified compliance gaps, mitigate risks and ensure compliance with the applicable legal and governance standards. We also design and advise on the implementation of internal systems that enable continuous monitoring and self-evaluation to promote long-term sustainability and accountability.
