Regulatory Compliance and its importance in Business
Regulatory compliance can be defined as adherence to laws, regulations, notifications, guidelines, and ethical standards. Irrespective of the size of the industry or company, all businesses are required to follow the applicable regulatory compliance as part of their operations. Regulatory compliance is a set of guidelines issued by the government at the municipal, state, central, or international level. These guidelines are the requirements of law that an organization needs to follow.
Fostering a culture of compliance within an organization is important because it helps to reduce the risk of legal and financial penalties, protects the company’s reputation, and promotes a positive work environment.
Regulatory compliance varies across industries. For example, Financial Service Sectors are required to maintain the stability and integrity of the financial system by following the rules and guidelines implemented by regulatory bodies such as the Reserve Bank of India, the Security Exchange Board of India, the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority, etc.
