Regulatory Compliance
Regulation has placed increasing responsibilities on organizations on regional, national and international level. Malaysian companies need to ensure that their businesses comply with the laws and regulations. To avoid penalties and prevent any unwanted interruption to their business, a high level of awareness and preparation for the legal regulation is needed. Knowing how to operate businesses in the landscape of rules and regulations is vital for companies to achieve their business goals.
