Compliance Programs are internal systems and procedures established by organizations to ensure adherence to relevant laws, regulations, and ethical standards. These programs typically involve policies, training, risk assessments, and monitoring mechanisms to prevent violations and detect illicit activities. Their purpose is to mitigate legal and reputational risks, fostering a culture of regulatory observance. Effective programs are dynamic, adapting to evolving legal landscapes and business operations.
