Compliance isn’t simply about following laws and regulations—it's about creating a culture of ethical behavior across an organization. According to a 2019 Global Culture & Compliance Benchmark Survey conducted by GAN Integrity, it was discovered that 79% of respondents consider culture incredibly significant to their compliance programs. A strong compliance culture helps to mitigate risks, enhance reputational integrity, and foster Operational Excellence.

Compliance Best Practices

At the core of effective compliance management lies the implementation of best practices. They may vary across industries yet a few key principles remain constant. These include:

  • An up-to-date understanding of regulatory requirements and potential risks.

  • Integration of compliance into the broader business processes, not as a separate function.

  • Active Communication of the importance and benefits of compliance across the organization.

Strategic Compliance Insights

Looking beyond the baseline of compliance regulation, executives must consider the wider picture—how can compliance be a Competitive Advantage? How does it align with business strategy and support overall Business Transformation?

McKinsey suggests Strategic Compliance—shifting from a reactive, check-the-box approach to a proactive, risk-based approach. This means incorporating compliance considerations into strategic decision-making, allowing leaders to anticipate potential risks early on and manage them more effectively.

As the landscape of business compliance becomes more complex, the dedication towards staying ahead of regulatory and ethical curves is critical. It becomes paramount for the C-suite to continuously enhance and reinforce their commitment to compliance, recognizing it as not just a necessity, but a strategic component of their enterprise success.
