Ambiguity in compliance reporting is resolved against the party that drafted it. The commercial risk in this aspect of legal and contractual practice usually sits in clauses nobody reads until something fails. Participants test their assumptions about the practice within legal and contractual practice against scenarios designed to break weak ones. The version of compliance reporting described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. It suits anyone whose decisions touch the wider legal and contractual practice agenda, in large organisations and small ones alike. It establishes a shared vocabulary for this aspect of legal and contractual practice so that teams can disagree productively about it. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to compliance reporting in an order their organisation can absorb. Applied research in legal and contractual practice consistently shows that early structure around this part of legal and contractual practice reduces downstream rework. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the practice within legal and contractual practice sustainable.
