Compliance generally refers to adhering to rules, such as a specification, policy, standard, or law. To be successful, businesses must comply with the laws and regulations of their jurisdictions. As an organization grows and broadens its scope of operations, the number of regulations governing its business practices increases. Herein, regulatory compliance is the organizational practice of making sure that business is managed and conducted in accordance with the applicable laws and rules. It is one of the most crucial aspects of running a business.
Regulatory compliance could be a rule or law legislated by the government that outlines the compliance requirements of a business and marks its legal obligations.
