The Compliance program, or corporate compliance program, is presented as a key strategy in the legal-penal field to prevent crimes such as corruption and money laundering. This set of policies and procedures aims for companies to implement internal mechanisms that ensure regulatory compliance and self-regulation. Unlike other countries such as Spain and Chile, where Compliance can exempt from criminal liability, in Ecuador it is only considered a mitigating factor. This lack of clear regulation limits the program's effectiveness and generates legal uncertainty. It is essential for Ecuador to adapt its legislation to recognize Compliance as an integral tool that not only prevents crimes but also provides legal protection to organizations acting in good faith.
