What is Contract Compliance?
Contract compliance refers to observance of the norms and procedures outlined in a contract. Often, this involves periodic reviews of an existing contract to determine adherence to compliance mandates and protocols and check for deviations.
An essential part of a company’s risk management strategy, contract compliance helps ensure that all stakeholders — suppliers, buyers and employees — stick to the terms and conditions of a contract. This protects a business from fraud, corruption and rogue spending.
Compliance is an ongoing exercise that involves planning, implementation, measurement and continuous improvement.
