Compliance in medium-sized companies
In the study "Compliance in medium-sized businesses" by the Center for Business Compliance & Integrity (CBCI), the current status of medium-sized companies with regard to compliance is examined. It is determined in which respect the topic of compliance is relevant for medium-sized companies and in which direction it will develop in the future. Furthermore, the areas in which the implementation of compliance is particularly challenging will be identified, as well as approaches and measures with which these challenges can be met.
