The 994+ Requirements Workbook
The self-assessment workbook is organized across seven process areas: governance, risk assessment, control design, implementation, monitoring, reporting, and continuous improvement. Practitioners use it to evaluate current practices, identify gaps, and build improvement plans. Each requirement is phrased as a verifiable statement, allowing users to respond with 'Yes', 'No', 'Partial', or 'Not Applicable'. Example questions include: 'Is there a documented process for identifying new compliance obligations?', 'Are controls mapped to specific risks in a central register?', and 'Is there a defined schedule for reviewing the effectiveness of key controls?'
The 20+ Templates
The toolkit includes editable templates in Excel and Word formats, covering essential compliance artifacts. These include the control register, risk and control matrix, corrective action log, document control log, process control summary, compliance status dashboard, audit checklist, RACI chart, policy template, procedure template, meeting agenda, action tracker, and improvement plan. Each template is designed for immediate use and can be adapted to fit internal documentation standards.
Course Outcomes and Certification
Upon completion, you will have produced 3 concrete deliverables built using the toolkit: a completed gap analysis report, a functional compliance dashboard, and a 30-day rollout plan with assigned tasks. The Art of Service issues a certificate of completion confirming demonstrated knowledge and applied capability in management and compliance.
