Compliance
Compliance incidents often have serious negative consequences. There is not only a risk of fines and significant reputational damage for the companies concerned or sanctions for their corporate bodies or employees, but also the termination of contracts by business partners, banks and insurance companies or the exclusion from participating in tenders.
