At the moment, companies make a voluntary decision whether to implement measures and practices that enable them to build a business culture based on responsibility, good governance and transparency.<\/span><\/p>\n

Against this backdrop, Transparency International Spain has published this guide *\u00a0to help companies to conduct their self-assessments in order to strengthen their policies in the areas of regulatory compliance, corporate governance, prevention of corruption and public disclosure country by country. It is a tool for measuring and assessing the quality of the programmes in these areas and for supporting improvements to companies\u2019 reporting levels.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each of the issues listed above can make use of the following: obligatory regulatory compliance indicators, voluntary compliance indicators and recommended compliance indicators. There are 273 in all, of which 144 are self-diagnosed, while 129 cover reporting.<\/span><\/p>\n

The results obtained from this self-assessment are grouped into three levels: moderate, medium or maximum, enabling companies to know their level of compliance.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Guide addresses mainly listed Spanish companies, because of the homogeneous nature of their business profiles. Nevertheless, it is valuable for both major, non-listed corporations and for small and medium sized firms. The Guide recommends that the self-diagnosis be conducted by the department heads of Compliance, Corporate Governance, Legal, Internal Audit and Corporate Transparency, or their equivalents.<\/span><\/p>\n
