Compliance is becoming a hot subject in today’s business conduct. It is no longer just one of the items on a Friday checklist, but is gradually becoming embedded in the day-to-day business. Due to increased insistence from the Authorities, not only in Anglo-Saxon countries, but also in mainland Europe, the corporate sector has to evolve towards Compliance as a means of doing good business. Tough market conditions prevail in a rapidly changing and globalizing world, so it remains a challenge for the corporate sector to adhere to Compliance. 

In order to assess the current state of Compliance in today’s Belgian Business World, Deloitte Belgium has conducted a benchmark survey. This report provides you the results of this first one. We therefore welcome you to the first in an annual series of benchmarks designed to gauge the challenges faced by Compliance functions across all corporate sectors.
