The Importance of Statutory Compliance

Statutory compliance refers to adherence to laws, rules, and regulations set by local, state, and federal authorities. Failure to comply can result in legal consequences, financial penalties, and damage to an organization’s reputation. Let’s delve into some of the common statutory compliance areas that organizations need to navigate.
