"Compliance" is now considered a fundamental requirement for the "license to operate" and represents a critical management function for companies. Numerous corporate scandals related to compliance violations suggest that companies are not always able to manage enterprise-wide compliance risks adequately. This is partly due to the lack of an established procedure for evaluating compliance success. As a result, there is a legitimacy problem for responsible leaders, as compliance expenditures are difficult to justify. Therefore, compliance must no longer be viewed as a cost factor but as a demonstrably value-adding management tool. This Quick Guide illustrates how the value contribution of compliance can be optimized in medium-sized and large companies.
Contents
Compliance as a balancing act between costs and benefits
Empirical insights from the compliance success model
