It is a set of guidelines that ensures a company's operations comply with external legal requirements and internal rules and standards. The goal of compliance is to proactively prevent and detect violations of laws and regulations in order to avoid legal sanctions and reputational damage.

It reduces legal risks. By complying with legal regulations, businesses can avoid fines, lawsuits, and criminal charges.

It strengthens reputation. An effective compliance program improves a company's image and strengthens the trust of customers, investors, and the public.

It increases operational efficiency. It streamlines processes, clarifies roles, and reduces the likelihood of fraud and mismanagement within the company.

It improves employee morale. A work culture that emphasizes integrity and ethical behavior fosters a positive work environment, motivating employees and making them more likely to remain with the company.

It attracts investment. Investors prefer to work with businesses that demonstrate their commitment to legal and ethical compliance.

It is a company that emphasizes doing the right thing, even when no one is watching, and even when it requires more time and resources, and the initial benefits are not readily apparent. Above all, it is an enterprise where senior management sets the standards and employees follow their lead.
