Internal Controls Learning
WHY
A leading food manufacturer sought to lead on safety, quality, and governance while sustaining a high-performance culture. Fast operations and dispersed teams exposed gaps in internal controls, increasing the risk of inconsistency, audit findings, and reputational harm.
The challenge was to embed a simple, practical control framework that everyone understood and applied daily. Success meant fewer incidents, stronger compliance and protected brand trust, enabling growth with confidence.
HOW
VSLS designed a humanistic control strategy built into daily work. With SHERQ, Legal and Risk, the team mapped key risks, decision points and accountabilities. The principles included safety first, clarity, and a single source of truth.
Controls became role-specific behaviours and checklists aligned to shift rhythms and audit cycles. Manager huddles and peer demos reinforced practice. Measurement loops linked incidents, findings and learning data to refine content and close gaps.
WHAT
VSLS delivered role-based learning and communications that defined behaviours
and clarified responsibilities. Modules linked control points to daily tasks, with simple
routes for reporting risk. The approach reinforced a safety-first culture.
Impact is clear — higher completion, faster escalation, and cleaner audit actions, with repeat findings reduced. Stakeholders report clearer accountability and quicker decisions across sites. Reusable assets and routines
now sustain performance at scale and
support compliance.
