Compliance describes the goal that corporations or public agencies aspire to in their efforts to ensure that personnel are aware of, and take steps to comply with, relevant laws and regulations.
Due to the increasing number of regulations and need for operational transparency, organizations are increasingly adopting the use of consolidated and harmonized sets of compliance controls. This approach is used to ensure that all necessary governance requirements can be met without the unnecessary duplication of effort and activity from resources.

In the broadest sense, a fraud is an intentional deception made for personal gain or to damage another individual; the related adjective is fraudulent.
The specific legal definition varies by legal jurisdiction. Fraud is a crime and, also, a civil law violation. Defrauding people or entities of money or valuables is a common purpose of fraud, but there have also been fraudulent "discoveries", e.g. in science, to gain prestige rather than immediate monetary gain.

Bid rigging is a form of fraud in which a commercial contract is promised to one party even though, for the sake of appearance, several other parties also present a bid. This form of collusion is illegal in most countries. It is a form of price fixing and market allocation, often practised where contracts are determined by a call for bids, for example in the case of government construction contracts. Bid-rigging almost always results in economic harm to the agency which is seeking the bids, and to the public, who ultimately bear the costs as taxpayers or consumers.

The International Organization for Standardization, widely known as ISO, is an international standard-setting body composed of representatives from various national standards organizations. Founded in 1947, the organization promulgates worldwide proprietary industrial and commercial standards. It has its headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. While ISO defines itself as a non-governmental organization, its ability to set standards that often become law, either through treaties or national standards, makes it more powerful than most non-governmental organizations. In practice, ISO acts as a consortium with strong links to governments.

Anti-money laundering (AML) describes the controls that require financial institutions and other regulated entities to prevent or report actual or suspected money-laundering activities. Anti-money laundering regulations existed well before September 11, 2001, but came into special prominence globally after that date and the subsequent enactment of the USA Patriot Act. Today, all financial institutions that transact business in or through the United States are required to identify and report transactions of a suspicious nature to the financial intelligence unit in their respective country. For example, a bank must perform due diligence by verifying a customer's identity and monitor transactions for suspicious activity.
