Compliance is a great concept. In the context of business, it refers to many key areas, including anti-corruption, national and international laws, regulations, rules, and principles.

Compliance is beyond the legal requirements as it reflects corporate culture of the company, its acceptable values, relationships, goals and practices that promote ethical behaviour when implementing business goals.
