Compliance Office Service: COMPLIANCE OFFICER
Regulatory Compliance Service & Compliance Officer
Specialized solutions for regulatory compliance and enterprise risk management
At IBERIANGEST SLP since 2010 we have been “your compliance officer” in charge of supervising everything related to your company’s regulatory compliance; Our functions are varied and complex and also require independence from the company’s management.
For this reason, hiring the services of a compliance officer from outside the company can be a guarantee of this independence and objectivity, even when it must align the fulfillment of its functions and obligations with the company’s objectives and philosophy.
IBERIANGEST SLP can help a company to design a compliance program, implement it and monitor it accordingly, for the following legal obligations:
Prevention of money laundering
The law on the prevention of money laundering affects different types of businesses and involves the fulfillment of complex obligations that require knowledge of the subject and dedication of time, not only to ensure that the company complies with these regulations and prevents the commission of a money laundering crime by any of its members, but also to ensure that the company complies with these regulations and prevents the commission of a money laundering crime by any of its members. but also to carry out due diligence when establishing business relationships with other companies or partners and to ensure that they are also compliant with the law.
Data protection
Complying with the Data Protection Act is an obligation that every company must comply with and the more personal data a company processes and the larger it is, the more complex this task becomes. Helping companies comply with data protection, without forgetting any of the obligations, requirements and documents that are necessary, can also be part of any legal compliance program.
Equality Plan
The Organic Law on Equality and subsequent Decrees that expand and develop it, establish the obligation for companies with 50 or more employees to have an Equality Plan, which in turn implies the fulfillment of various obligations that contribute to achieving equality in the workplace. As in the case of data protection, the legal compliance program can help the company demonstrate its compliance with the obligations arising from the Equality Act for companies.
Prevention of occupational risks
The prevention of occupational risks is an unavoidable obligation for companies, especially for those whose activity involves significant risks to the health and physical integrity of their employees. Through a labor compliance management program, a company can ensure that it complies with each of these obligations.
Prevention of the commission of crimes
To reduce or exempt a company from criminal liability, when one of its members has committed a crime that could have benefited it directly or indirectly, the company must have implemented a functional and effective crime prevention program or plan. An external compliance service will not only help with the preparation and implementation of this plan, but will also ensure complete objectivity and independence when managing it.
Whistleblowing Channel
With the entry into force of the Whistleblower Directive, the internal whistleblowing channel is a must for any company with 50 or more employees. In addition, for companies with fewer employees, it is also mandatory as part of the protocol for the prevention of sexual or gender-based harassment.
The whistleblowing channel is practically an aspect of mandatory compliance for a large number of companies, but the law allows the implementation and management of the channel itself and the investigation and follow-up of the complaints received through it to be outsourced, as long as the provider of this compliance service stays in communication and collaborates with the company's compliance officer.
This compliance service can be nothing more than the management of the whistleblowing channel, through specific software or a much more complete service, as we have mentioned in the previous section.
