Compliance is a term that is understood in various ways - usually as an internal system of organization of the business activity, aimed at counteracting violations of law and ethics. This system consists of sets of corporate values, internal procedures, activities aimed at building an appropriate organizational culture, training, motivating and sanctioning factors as well as supervisory systems.
The issue of relevant compliance rules is extremely important from the perspective of avoiding financial liability of companies, which may result from the company's employees’ infringements of:
- the anti-corruption law (Polish and American - FCPA),
- the competition law,
- the labour law.
Anti-corruption rules are particularly applicable in relations with doctors, nurses and staff employed in public health care.
