Compliance is a critical issue for franchise systems. Franchisors all understand the importance of system compliance, but the importance of maintaining legal compliance is often overlooked.
Australian regulators expect all Australian businesses to have systems in place which assist them to maintain compliance with the law throughout the entire organisation. Having systems in place that assist you to comply with the law could help you to avoid litigation and investigation. It is also essential for good corporate governance.

ecomply is used by many of Australia's most well known organisations.
