Compliance has become a leading risk facing organisations today. In line with ISO standards, Organizations that aim to be successful in the long term need to establish and maintain a culture of compliance. Compliance is therefore not only the basis, but also an opportunity, for a successful and sustainable organization. An effective, organization-wide compliance management system enables an organization to demonstrate its commitment to comply with relevant laws, regulatory requirements, industry codes and organizational standards, as well as standards of good governance, generally accepted best practices, ethics and community expectations.

Noticeably, Organizations are increasingly agreeing that, by applying binding values and appropriate compliance management, they can safeguard their integrity and avoid or minimize noncompliance with the organization's compliance obligations. Integrity and effective compliance are therefore key elements of good and diligent management.

This document will provide guidance on how to develop and an effective compliance management program that can deal with compliance related risks improving business opportunities, sustainability protecting and enhancing an organization's reputation and credibility.
