In addition, businesses are required to comply with the regulatory framework applicable to their specific industry. All this exposes organizations to unplanned risks.
Litigation – civil and regulatory – is something that follows as a consequence. It therefore becomes imperative for businesses to inculcate effective and flexible strategies to manage their disputes and regulatory compliance, to ensure business continuity and success.
