suggesting appropriate and cost effective remedial action

To prepare a report that persuasively urges management to take appropriate action,
explaining why such action is needed (including reference to possible breaches of
legislation) and identifying, with due consideration of reasonable practicability, the
remedial measures that should be implemented.
