CORPORATE COMPLIANCE
Corporate Compliance refers to the systematic process of ensuring that a company adheres to all applicable laws, regulations, standards, and internal policies that govern its operations. It is not limited to external legal mandates, but also includes compliance with internal corporate governance norms, ethical codes of conduct, and industry-specific regulations.
