In terms of compliance, it is but just here not sufficient to reasonably secure processes within to be satisfied with the. Instead, the goal must be to optimize processes to achieve 100% safety. You have it in case of problems with a faulty product and a dissatisfied buyer to do, but an administrative error, such as a created incorrectly or incompletely and incorrectly transmitted data set. The consequences of such failure are perhaps late can be. Yet even this error can mean always at the same time a compliance violation and the consequences are potentially significant. Intel addresses the importance of the matter here. Guarantee the achievement of training events by Compliance? Compliance means compliance with mandatory law and recognized ethical standards within the company. These rules are brought usually through training events, or other information to the employees. The guarantee for rule-compliant processes is not however. It’s not a safe that the employees actually adapt their functioning on the basis of the new information. On the other hand the Division of labor established today in administrative tasks often leads, that behave the individual employees involved in the process although well-formed, but nevertheless has operator as a result of the process. So it is conceivable, for example, that a recently required by the changed legal situation process step is applied by any of the process editor and therefore is not. Parts of the processes are outsourced”and be carried out by external business partners, the issue is gaining complexity. In case of doubt, a partner relies on the other.

The classic compliance management falls short of approach. Among the four commonly mentioned tasks of a compliance organization: the provision of procedures for the identification of risks providing an internal information system the establishment of internal and external communication the introduction of an internal Control system. Such compliance management based primarily on information and communication, organization or even control is out of the question. It would be important that an effective compliance influence takes organization more directly to business processes. With the help of process optimization projects could get closer this concern. In addition to the aim of a general efficiency and quality of administrative processes, could be consistently defects in compliance work on out point of view. The two corporate goals, optimization and compliance of administrative processes not contrary to each other. At the same time to keep track of, it can help to make long-term sustainable companies. In addition to the achieved compliance, processes optimized in this way help to reduce costs, save time and increase flexibility.
