Terms of use

1. Purpose

The site presents my thinking and work on governance, risk, controls and compliance. It is information, not professional, legal or audit advice, and not an offer that binds me. Engagements are agreed separately in writing.

2. Content and rights

Texts, diagrams and illustrations on this site are mine unless stated otherwise, and all rights are reserved. You may quote short passages with attribution and a link to the source page. Anything beyond that, including republishing a full article, needs my written permission.

3. Stories and examples

Field notes and examples are composites based on typical situations; details are changed so no organisation or person can be identified. Any resemblance to a real case is accidental.

4. Accuracy

I try to keep content correct and current, but standards, laws and my own views change. Check the primary source (the standard, the regulation, your auditor) before relying on anything here. References to standards and regulations are pointers, not quotations of the full text.

5. Opinions

Views are my own. They do not speak for any employer, client, certification body or other organisation.

6. Links

External links are offered for convenience. I do not control those sites and am not responsible for their content.

7. Liability

To the extent the law allows, I am not liable for loss arising from using this site or relying on its content. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.

8. Governing law

The law of the Republic of Serbia applies. The courts in Belgrade have jurisdiction, without prejudice to any mandatory rights you may have as a consumer.

9. Changes

These terms may change; the version on this page applies. See also the privacy policy.
