The external compliance officer – guarantor of legal compliance and corporate governance
SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) in particular do not always have the available human resources to employ their own compliance officer or have these tasks performed by the management. In many cases, this is also not appropriate.
It goes without saying that the absence of compliance is no solution either. The observance of all relevant laws, guidelines and ethical standards is not merely a legal obligation, but also a decisive factor for sustainable corporate success. An effective compliance management system (CMS) serves as a protective shield against financial and legal damages as well as reputational threats.
Hiring an external compliance officer is a strategic decision. It allows businesses to transfer the complexity and responsibility of compliance-related tasks to specialised, independent partners. Unlike internal solutions, this option offers you an unbiased and independent perspective, the highest level of expertise and the entrepreneurial flexibility of a model based on your specific needs.
