We present preliminary results of a series of laboratory experiments performed to test hypotheses on compliance behaviour of firms under different enforcement regimes in a program that caps aggregate emissions of a given pollutant. The enforcement design for the laboratory experiments considers inducing individual perfect compliance and also allow for violations, under both emissions standards ...

This qualitative study explores corporations' motivations to comply with new natural health products (NHP) Regulations in Canada. Interviews were conducted with representatives from 20 Canadian NHP companies. Findings show that the rationale for compliance differs for large compared to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Large firms are motivated to comply with the regulations because of...

For enterprises it has become crucial to check compliance of their business processes with certain rules such as medical guidelines or financial regulations. When automating compliance checks on process models, existing approaches have mainly addressed process-specific compliance rules so far, i.e., rules that correspond to a particular process model. However, in practice, we will rather find p...

Recently, several approaches have been developed to check process models for compliance with laws and regulations. In this paper a contribution is made with respect to reducing the complexity of compliance checking by partially automating business process compliance (BPC) checking. We present a model checking approach that is able to check process models for BPC. In particular, we apply a gener...

Today’s enterprises demand a high degree of compliance in their business processes to meet diverse regulations and legislations. Several industrial studies have shown that compliance management is a daunting task, and organizations are still struggling and spending billions of dollars annually to ensure and prove their compliance. In this demonstration, we present, BP-MaaS (Business Process Mon...

Business process compliance has become more and more important function for business process management (BPM). One of challenges in this area is to check the business process compliance in the business process life-cycle (design-time, run-time). In this paper, we propose a description logic-based approach for business process compliance checking during two phases of the business process life-cy...

Today’s enterprises demand a high degree of compliance of business processes to meet laws and regulations, such as Sarbanes-Oxley and Basel II. Compliance should be enforced during all phases of business process lifecycle, from the phases of analysis and design to deployment, monitoring and evaluation. In this paper, a taxonomy of compliance constraints for business processes is introduced base...

Policies and government regulations impose restrictions on information practices in healthcare and finance. These restrictions govern the use and disclosure of information that spans organizations and their business practices. To comply with policies and the law, organizations must demonstrate that they have verifiable procedures in-place to implement these restrictions. To this end, we present...

Regulatory compliance impacts almost every enterprise, irrespective of its size and scale or the geography and sector in which it operates. Managing and demonstrating compliance with the complex web of evolving regulations can be time consuming and expensive. For example, the Volcker Rule was implemented by U.S. federal financial regulators to curtail proprietary trading and private fund activi...
