Compliance

Compliance in Switzerland is relevant to companies, financial institutions, public bodies and non-profit organizations. It covers areas such as anti-money laundering, sanctions, data protection, competition law, employment, tax, anti-corruption, environmental duties and sector-specific regulation. Effective compliance includes risk assessment, clear responsibilities, policies, training, monitoring, reporting channels and remediation. It does not eliminate liability, but it can reduce risks, support management duties and influence enforcement outcomes. Cross-border groups must coordinate Swiss requirements with foreign and international standards.
