Its purpose is to present the legal and doctrinal foundation that supports the use of these programs as a way that seeks to solve problems such as: corruption, corporate mistrust, prevention of commission of crimes, as well as proposing the introduction of mechanisms that seek risk management, as well as avoiding the commitment of unethical and unfair practices. Compliance is related to the implementation of mechanisms that promote monitoring and compliance with standards; rules; codes and other regulations from within the company, through the design of codes of conduct and frameworks that determine practices to be followed for the ethical support of the participants; At the same time, it includes the determination of benefits such as: the construction of corporate trust, expansion, transparency and strengthening of the business sector, investment, companies under international standards, up to the configuration of grounds for disclaimer in legal persons, when they are subject to these mechanisms. Compliance has undoubtedly been presented as a notion that is under construction in several countries and that is being molded to reduce and eliminate elusive, fraudulent and disappointing practices carried out through the company. In Ecuador, the Compliance function arouses interest and its analysis is presented as an opportunity in the fight to fight corruption and lessens the international mistrust that has arisen in the business sector, in recent times.
