Business compliance and governance refers to the framework of policies, procedures, and controls that keep a company compliant with laws and regulations while promoting responsible governance and risk management.
Core components include policy development, risk assessment, internal controls, employee training, incident response, vendor management, and ongoing monitoring to sustain compliance over time.
Definitions of common terms used in governance and compliance are provided to help you understand the language of corporate oversight.
Governance is the framework of rules, practices, and processes through which a company is directed and controlled to achieve objectives and accountability.
Compliance means adhering to applicable laws, regulations, and internal policies relevant to the business and industry.
Risk management is the systematic process of identifying, evaluating, and addressing risks that could affect the organization’s objectives.
Internal controls are the policies and procedures designed to ensure accurate financial reporting, safeguard assets, and promote compliance.
In building a governance program, organizations can adopt a stand-alone policy approach, implement integrated risk management, or deploy a comprehensive governance framework that aligns people, processes, and technology.
For small teams with straightforward compliance requirements, a focused set of policies and controls may meet obligations without a full governance program.
