Compliance Risk Management Crucial for Turkish Companies Amidst Political Turmoil and Regulatory Changes

As Turkey grapples with political uncertainty, corruption scandals, and rapidly changing regulatory landscape, companies operating in the country are facing unprecedented challenges. The need to ensure effective compliance risk management has never been more pressing.

Governance: A Key Component of Compliance Risk Management

In today’s complex business environment, good corporate governance is essential for ensuring transparency, accountability, and ethical decision-making. Prof. Geoffrey Parsons Miller defines governance as “the processes by which decisions related to risk management and compliance are made within an organization.” Effective governance involves establishing clear policies, identifying potential risks, and implementing strategies to mitigate them.

Risk Management: Identifying and Mitigating Risks

Risk management is a critical component of Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (GRC). It involves:

  • Identifying potential risks
  • Analyzing their likelihood and impact
  • Developing strategies to mitigate or accept them

By proactively managing risks, companies can avoid financial and legal consequences, capitalize on opportunities, and ensure business continuity.

Compliance: Monitoring and Ensuring Adherence to Regulations

Compliance refers to the processes by which an organization monitors its behavior to ensure it complies with applicable regulations. In Turkey, companies must comply with a range of laws and regulations, including:

  • Anti-money laundering
