The term "compliance" actually describes a matter of course, namely the observation of laws and rules. In the field of commercial law consulting the term designates a system for auditing internal and external processes, which guarantees this compliance at the company.

Often foreign companies give their German subsidiaries compliance guidelines to implement that are based on legal or practical circumstances in the parent company‘s country. In Germany such guidelines cannot be implemented on a 1:1 basis but have to be adapted to the respective local general conditions. In addition, the necessity of a compliance system in German companies was often underestimated in the past, because such a system in part also creates civil or even penal liability for consequences that apply to executives, managers and employees.
