# License Compliance Controls
License compliance controls ensure that the terminal continues to meet the conditions of its customs and excise authorisations. Key elements include:
- **Monitoring of license conditions**, such as permitted activities, approved goods, bonded storage limits, and site layout specifications.
- **Change management procedures** to assess the impact of legal, operational, or structural changes on license scope or validity (e.g. changes in legal entity role, board composition, or site infrastructure).
- **Maintenance and periodic review of the AO/IC** (Administrative Organisation and Internal Control), which forms the basis for demonstrating compliance with license requirements.
- **Filing of required notifications and reports** with authorities, including periodic customs declarations, EMCS movements, and inventory statements.
- **Internal audits and control testing**, supported by the BzCtrl platform, to identify compliance gaps, monitor corrective actions, and document continuous improvement.
By integrating these three layers of control, the terminal ensures a comprehensive and proactive approach to customs and excise compliance supporting operational accuracy, legal accountability, and regulatory assurance.
It is important to note that the **design, scope, and frequency** of these controls are not static. They are subject to change based on **regulatory developments**, **business needs**, **operational changes**, and **findings from audits or monitoring activities**. As such, the control framework is **adaptive by nature** and reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that it remains effective, proportionate to risk, and aligned with the evolving requirements of the business and the applicable legal landscape.
