MLS - Corporate Compliance

MLS - Corporate Compliance

Corporate compliance is an area of substantial concern for all companies and requires the development of internal policies and procedures to ensure compliance with state and federal regulatory standards.

Corporations of all sorts faced increased regulatory burdens following the Enron scandal and the enactment of Sarbanes-Oxley. The evolution of regulatory standards for a wide variety of industries, combined with the enhanced need for protection of corporate computer systems, networks, mobile devices and data, has resulted in a massive increase in the need for compliance professionals that are attuned to the specific needs of regulated industries.
