Connected Compliance 2020

Connected Compliance explores the role of technology as a driver of compliance integration and business growth. The research considers the role played by technology as a key enabler of Connected Compliance and explores the link between the effectiveness of the compliance function and successful business outcomes. Additionally, it identifies how companies are deploying technology to manage challenges and surveys the risks and liabilities associated with the use of technology in compliance teams/wider business functions.
