Compliance programs

Compliance programs translate legal and regulatory duties into practical controls, policies, training and reporting channels. In Switzerland they are relevant for corporate governance, anti-money-laundering, anti-corruption, sanctions, data protection, competition, employment and sector-specific regulation. An effective program is risk-based, supported by management, documented, monitored and improved after incidents. It does not eliminate liability, but it may reduce misconduct, help demonstrate organisational diligence and guide responses to investigations or self-reporting decisions.
