Compliance

 

Today, Compliance has moved beyond the concept of “Best Practices” to become a business attribute.  Compliance programs and mechanisms were once considered mere tools to fight illegal acts; however, the legislative evolution on the subject has brought new scenarios, with an increasing number of companies raising the integrity levels in their business to ensure their reputation and sustainability in the market.

In general, investors are more demanding when doing business in the country, so not having a Compliance Program can mean losing business opportunities. The implementation of the program allows the companies to know themselves better, mapping risks and anticipating situations that could cause considerable losses due to non-compliance with legislation and sectorial regulations, lack of care with their professionals, or even, due to carelessness with third parties.
