Business compliance and governance refers to the framework of policies, controls, and processes that keep a company aligned with legal requirements while guiding responsible decision-making and ethical conduct.
Key elements include risk assessment, policy development, training, internal controls, auditing, and ongoing monitoring. The process typically begins with a needs assessment, followed by policy implementation and regular reviews.
Below are essential terms commonly used when discussing governance and compliance in California business contexts.
Governance refers to the system of rules, practices, and processes by which a company is directed and controlled to achieve accountability and ethical conduct.
