Glossary of common terms used in business compliance and governance and how they apply in Planada’s regulatory landscape.
Governance refers to the framework of rules, practices, and processes that direct and manage the company, ensuring accountability and ethical decision making.
Due diligence is a careful review of a business, assets, or contract terms to identify risks and verify facts before committing to a transaction.
Compliance means adhering to applicable laws, regulations, and internal policies to avoid penalties and reputational harm.
Internal controls are processes and procedures that help prevent errors, fraud, and mismanagement within a company.
