Elements of an Integrated Corporate Compliance System
Abstract
The term compliance generally refers to the set of instructions and procedures that allow an organization to meet the requirements of a «rule», whether of a legislative or regulatory nature. With such a broad meaning, in abstract it could embrace any activity, as it is difficult to conceive an area that does not operate in a more or less stringent regulatory context. Within a corporate organization, the competences of a compliance department are designed and implemented in a heterogeneous way, depending on specific regulations applicable to the various business activities, or on more or less consolidated best practices of the reference sector.
