Glossary of terms used in this service includes governance, compliance, risk management, due diligence, and internal controls.
Governance refers to the systems, policies, and processes that direct and control a company to achieve objectives while meeting legal and ethical obligations.
Compliance means adhering to applicable laws, regulations, and internal policies, and maintaining verifiable records.
Risk management involves identifying, assessing, and mitigating potential threats to the business, including regulatory, operational, and financial risks.
