Compliance Management: Ensuring Conformity with Rules and Regulations

Effective compliance management ensures that organizations consistently adhere to rules and regulations. Its sustainability is achieved through seamless integration into the corporate culture, staff behavior, and attitudes. To preserve independence, compliance management should blend into different organizational processes (such as financial, risk, quality, environmental, health, or safety management processes) according to operational needs.

Benefits of a Compliance Management System

Through an effective, company-wide compliance management system (CMS), businesses show their commitment to complying with various, requirements, rules, and regulations. The CMS sets guidelines and proven organizational practices that guarantee a company's adherence to legal mandates, industry standards, and internal governance protocols. This helps foster a culture of ethics and compliance to meet society's growing expectations. Additionally, a CMS facilitates conformity with both internal and external agreements and can be integrated with risk management to effectively reduce compliance risks. Generally, it is recommended for companies to base their compliance management system on internationally recognized standards such as ISO 19600, ISO 37301, or IDW PS 980.

Key Considerations for Your Compliance Management System

To ensure successful compliance processes, you should address relevant challenges early in your CMS implementation. Here are some crucial points to consider:

Meeting heightened compliance expectations from senior management, the supervisory board, and audit committee despite resource constraints

Exploring new areas that demand highly specialized expertise, like cybersecurity audits

Establishing the compliance team as trusted advisors (rather than an "internal police force") who help refine processes, procedures, and guidelines

Adapting skill sets to match the demands of evolving technologies and expertise fields, such as AI, cybersecurity, or RPA
