Since the fight against and prevention of corrupt behavior has been an essential premise in the international business community for some time now, we wanted to evaluate the reality in our country and for this purpose we conducted the “Compliance Diagnostic Survey”, which would allow us to know the degree of implementation of compliance programs in national companies. To this end, we surveyed representatives of leading local companies on the main questions related to the subject.
The results and conclusions of the survey are not only encouraging, but also highlight the growing importance that compliance programs are acquiring, demonstrating that complying with the correct rules of the game and maintaining ethical behavior are no longer ancillary issues, but are now fundamental for business development at the local level.
Duly documented policies and procedures, written commitments for the implementation of compliance programs, the existence of Codes of Conduct, compliance processes, and the existence of a due dilligence, The existence of whistleblower channels for reporting suspicious behavior, the figure of compliance officers, risk matrices, training programs and external support to the company's compliance area, are all relevant indicators to know the degree of development that this area is reaching and that we have analyzed to obtain this interesting vision of business conduct at the national level.
