  "Compliance – Managing the regulatory challenge"

"Non-compliance with regulations has increasingly become a major threat to a company's reputation and - in some cases - to its ability as a going concern. Today, not only banks and insurance companies are facing a myriad of regulations. Companies in all industries need to take a thorough look at their capabilities to deal with the regulatory challenge. Various functions within the company are trying to support line management and the Board of Directors in the discharge of their ultimate responsibility for external rules and regulations."

As a consequence of the regulatory burden and the focus on Corporate Governance Best Practice, Compliance is increasingly perceived as a distinct risk management discipline within the company.
