The Business Challenge
A global consumer products company that manufactures and markets brand-name food products for consumers throughout the world was facing predicaments in meeting the local municipalities deadlines for regulatory compliance using FDA guidelines. With strict legislative deadlines looming over more than $150 million (net sales value) worth of products, the client had less than a year to reformulate, test, produce, and distribute over 250 of its products. The increasing pressure on the internal corporate team compelled the client to collaborate with SpendEdge and build a compliance management system.

Why Compliance Management is Important?
Compliance management is a process that enables businesses to plan, organize, control and lead activities that ensure compliance with laws and requirements. It ensures that any business or legal action conducted by a company is within legal parameters and “appropriate” actions have been taken in order to prevent incidents. The first step in the compliance management process is risk mitigation. This includes signage disclosures and processes such as Know your Customer and Customer Identification Procedures.
The second most important reason for compliance management is litigation. It also ensures that unfavorable incidents do not occur by following regulatory compliance. For instance, if a company comes under scrutiny for money laundering, compliance management system can prove that all checks and balances were in accordance with the laws and policies.
