The 994+ Requirements Workbook

The self-assessment workbook is organized across seven process areas: customs compliance, regulatory standards, supply chain logistics, workforce planning, legal agreements, tax implications, and internal governance. Practitioners use it to systematically evaluate current practices, identify gaps, and build evidence-based improvement plans. Example questions include: "Do you have a documented process for verifying UKCA marking on goods placed on the GB market?", "Are import declarations being filed within 48 hours of arrival at the UK border?", and "Is there a formal review mechanism for contracts affected by changes in cross-border service provision?" Each requirement is phrased as a verifiable yes/no item with supporting guidance.

The 20+ Templates

The toolkit includes editable templates in Excel and Word for customs declaration checklists, cross-border risk registers, product classification records, workforce mobility logs, internal audit schedules, change request forms, governance meeting agendas, RACI charts, 30-day rollout plans, compliance dashboards, and supplier notification letters. These artifacts are designed to be adapted for internal use and support consistent documentation across teams.

Course Outcomes and Certification

Upon completion, you will have produced 3 concrete deliverables built using the toolkit: a completed gap analysis report, a customized 30-day implementation plan, and a populated compliance dashboard. The Art of Service issues a certificate of completion confirming demonstrated knowledge and applied capability in Brexit planning and regulatory adaptation.
