MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT OF REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
Regulatory compliance involves the act and process of ensuring adherence to regulations. Every government enacts laws, legislation, policies, regulations and rules in order to govern societal interactions. These regulations are administered by bodies established to enforce compliance independently or with oversight by a government organization.
Regulators and oversight agencies carry out regulatory compliance by interpreting regulations to enable the understanding, compliance and conformance by the regulated entities. They also carry out inspections to monitor compliance, enforce penalties to punish defaulters, and engage in consultations with regulated parties to address issues arising out of the process. Enforcing regulatory compliance does not come without challenges. It requires the establishment of strategies and systems to monitor and enforce compliance.
Monitoring and Management of Regulatory Compliance is a 5-day course that is intended to determine the best and the most effective ways of regulating and oversighting compliance with regulatory requirements by establishing effective strategies and systems to monitor and manage compliance.

ATTAINING SUSTAINABILITY FOR STATE AGENCIES: LEGAL AND STRATEGIC ASPECTS
Under Article 10 of the Constitution of Kenya 2010, national values include good governance, integrity, transparency, accountability, and sustainable development, while Article 232 outlines public service principles such as efficient and effective resource use, applicable to all State organs and corporations. The Mwongozo Code of Governance highlights weak financial performance in Kenyan State corporations due to inadequate governance frameworks and emphasizes the link between good governance and enterprise growth. Institutionalizing good governance is expected to drive economic transformation, and Chapter 7 of Mwongozo addresses sustainability and performance management, placing obligations on Boards. In this context, the Kenya School of Law developed a course to strengthen State Agencies’ capacity to meet statutory sustainability obligations.

Risk in HR can mean exposure to expensive, time consuming litigation or administrative claims, bad publicity, high turnover and lack of top talent. Many claims could be easily avoided by a critical examination of HR practices to ensure they comply with the law and “best practices.” Audits are an important tool to help HR stay on the cutting edge.
