It’s a scary thought. How will you feel if you’ve just invested, or even saved, in a business that is, or could be, under serious regulatory scrutiny? This is a question that is asked in a lot of cases.
The very nature of business is to operate in a world where a lot of people act in a manner that is not always legal. If you invest in a business that is, or could be, in the public eye, then its very likely that there will be some oversight. For example, if you buy a house in a particular area, perhaps the zoning code does not allow this type of building in that specific area.
This is the case with the company that I work for. At least a few times a year we have to inspect and document business records on behalf of our clients on a routine basis. And when we do, we are subjected to a lot of scrutiny. Most of our clients have a variety of different business models. Some of them have their own lawyers who work for them. Some of them have their own accountants who work for them. Some of them are self-employed.
For the most part, it doesn’t matter how many different clients we have. There is one thing that is always the same. The same laws that apply to one or more of them are applied to us.
It’s hard to find people who have had their businesses go through such thorough scrutiny.
This is a common question I get asked. If we are going to follow the same laws and regulations as our customers, should we do so without consulting them? The answer is no. First of all, it is unethical for a business to do so. It takes away a lot of the “free market” element of the way we operate, and it is often said that the government is not a “free market” organization.
The fact is, however, that it’s not a good idea to just go through all the rules you already have, but to implement them. That’s not necessarily the case. In other words, the government is a little too rigid in its regulation of business.
The problem is that the government can often be very rigid when it comes to its business regulations. It can be difficult to get a bunch of rules that apply to a business on top of the others. For example, in our research with businesses, we found that many of them lack clear policies on how to handle the issue of employee theft. The fact is, though, that employee theft is a very serious problem in the workplace.
Employee theft is a problem because it can result in a loss of money to the business. Employees can turn to theft as a legitimate way to get their salary and benefits. That’s why we recommend that employers take proactive steps to avoid employee theft. For example, if you suspect that a coworker may be taking things to the extreme, you should ask them if you can look at the receipt.
