Declaration of Conformity ISO 31022 Legal Risk Management 

The objective of the ISO 31022 standard is to provide guidelines for managing the specific legal risk challenges faced by organisations. The application of these guidelines is adaptable to any type of organisation regardless of its context. 

This standard is aligned with ISO 31000 and provides specific guidance applicable to legal risk management. The purpose of the standard is to develop a better understanding of the legal risk management faced by an organisation and to assist its top management in, among other aspects:

• Promote a systematic and consistent approach to managing the risk arising from legal non-compliance and identify and analyse a wide range of issues so that these risks are addressed proactively with appropriate resources and senior management support. 
• Understand and best assess the scope and consequences of legal risk issues and exercise appropriate due diligence. 
• Identify, analyse and assess legal risks and provide a systematic way to make informed decisions. 
• Enhance and encourage the identification of opportunities for continuous improvement. 

EQA’s compliance audit services include obtaining a Statement of Conformity in relation to the implementation of the guidelines contained in this best practice standard, following a regulated process based on international best practice in certification, inspection, verification and validation.  

A Declaration of Conformity in relation to the application of the guidelines of ISO 31022 can be useful both internally and externally, so that you can assure your senior management and governing body of the existence of control processes in accordance with international good practice, as well as being able to demonstrate to third parties the existence of this culture of good governance in the organisation.
