What is Compliance?

Compliance means adhering to a set of laws, regulations, policies, and standards that govern business operations. It ensures smooth functioning, maintains ethical standards, and avoids legal troubles. As businesses grow, compliance becomes even more critical to ensure transparency, accountability, and risk mitigation.

Importance of Compliance

Timely compliance with all relevant laws and regulations benefits businesses in multiple ways:

• Establishes clear operational standards and ethical guidelines.
• Prevents legal issues, fines, and penalties due to negligence.
• Enhances trust and credibility in the industry.
• Provides employees with a safe and professional work environment.

Different Types of Compliance

As businesses expand, they must adhere to various compliance standards related to health, security, finance, environmental concerns, and more. Broadly, compliance is categorized into External Compliance and Internal Compliance.

External Compliance

External compliance refers to rules and regulations set by the government and regulatory bodies to ensure legal business operations. These include:

1. Statutory Compliance

These are mandatory laws enacted by the state or central government. Some of the key statutory regulations in India include:

• Shops and Establishment Act
• Employees Provident Fund Act (EPF)
• Employees State Insurance Corporation Act (ESIC)
• Professional Tax Act
• Labour Welfare Fund Act
• Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition) Act
• Minimum Wages Act
• Payment of Wages Act
• Payment of Bonus Act
• Maternity Benefit Act
• Payment of Gratuity Act
• Equal Remuneration Act
• Factories Act
• Trade Unions Act
• Prevention of Sexual Harassment (PoSH) Act

ASK ASSOCIATES ensures your business adheres to all statutory requirements, protecting you from non-compliance risks.

2. Regulatory Compliance

Regulatory compliance involves following rules set by specific regulatory bodies for different industries. These include:

• Accounting & Payroll Compliance: Statutory audit, tax audit, direct and indirect tax compliance.
• Secretarial Compliance: Annual ROC filings, board meetings, and company law adherence.
• Labour Law Compliance: Ensuring compliance with employee welfare laws.
• Corporate Law Compliance: Tax returns, TDS filings, GST filings, and financial audits.

Internal Compliance

Internal compliance refers to policies and procedures that businesses implement to maintain operational efficiency, workplace ethics, and employee conduct. This includes:

• Employee monitoring policies and acceptable workplace behavior.
• Guidelines for donations, conflicts of interest, and asset protection.
• Internal audits, risk assessments, and financial compliance measures.

A company that adheres to internal compliance naturally aligns with external regulations, ensuring seamless operations.
