Compliance Program Update

Definition

A compliance program update modifies an organization’s internal rules to meet new legal or regulatory requirements. This process involves revising policies, procedures, and controls to align with evolving statutes, industry standards, or enforcement priorities. Such updates are critical for mitigating legal and reputational risks, particularly in highly regulated sectors. For digital asset firms, these changes frequently address anti-money laundering (AML), know-your-customer (KYC), and sanctions screening obligations.
