Governance and compliance: the key steps

Strengthening governance and compliance is based on a journey from understanding needs and risks, to defining operating models, managing compliance, and measuring results. With a structured and scalable approach, we build a system consistent with strategic priorities that simplifies compliance, improves control, and makes the organization function more effectively.

Definition of needs

Analyze regulatory and contextual requirements to fully understand the impacts on the business and define priorities for action. Concrete objectives and scopes of application consistent with business strategies are established at this stage.

Risk assessment

Mapping noncompliance risks, vulnerabilities in processes and gaps in controls, assessing the likelihood and impact of potential violations. The analysis enables the identification of areas of increased exposure and the targeting of subsequent corrective actions.

Framework development

Establish organizational models, processes and internal arrangements consistent with the needs that have emerged, ensuring clarity in roles, formalization of internal controls, traceability of decisions and adequate documentation.

Selection of technologies

Identify, select and integrate digital tools that enable digitization and automation of processes and activities. The goal is to reduce processing time, optimize resources, and minimize operating costs.

Engagement of people

Promote a culture of governance and compliance through communication, awareness and training initiatives. It is essential to make employees aware of their role and related responsibilities within the organizational model.

Adoption of the framework

Ensure that the defined organization, processes and provisions are effectively applied in daily operations. Action is taken to avoid misalignments between formal structure and operational practices by acting on responsibilities, flows and interactions between the various parties involved.

Compliance management

Monitor and operationally manage compliance with regulatory deadlines and compliance obligations. This activity includes the collection of necessary documents, timely verification of activities, and continuous updating on regulatory news, including through digital services.

Measurement and reporting

Define and adopt indicators and control mechanisms to measure the effectiveness of the adopted safeguards. Results are documented in structured reports to support management, supervisory bodies and to foster continuous improvement of the system.

All the benefits of the internal control system

Adopting an internal control system enables you to:

Make your company more robust and compliant
Protect the company's reputation
Increase stakeholder confidence
Safely foster innovation
Strengthen business continuity
Reduce emergency response time
