Challenge: Inadequate Tools and Limited Risk Visibility

‍

In an environment where compliance and supply chain transparency are critical, APA Group quickly recognised that their existing procurement software with basic modern slavery modules was not fit for purpose to address the requirements of the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth), because of:
‍

• Inconsistent and unclear risk assessments
  ‍
  

• An inability to retain historical data, making year-on-year comparisons impossible.
  ‍
  

• Risk ratings based on isolated factors, such as a single-country risk rather than a comprehensive, multi-factor model.
  
  ‍

This made it difficult to track trends over time or explain risk outcomes accurately to internal stakeholders, undermining credibility and compliance reporting.
