Compliance
Any laws or regulations may be referenced as rules to adhere to as part of daily business interactions. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act--which was enacted as a direct result of the Enron case, in which executives falsified financial records to overstate the company's worth--details what financial reporting a company must do. Compliance to all financial reporting and any licensing requirements such as ISO 9000 by the International Organization for Standardization can be documented, along with the expectation that all licenses will be maintained and legal regulations met.
