Practical, clear, comprehensible, concise and comprehensive, this work presents the subject of compliance as it applies to institutions of all types in the public sector. The new edition provides assistance with practical guidance and implementation for establishing and expanding a forward-looking compliance system. The handbook covers the basics of compliance in the field of public administration and, reflecting these, associated requirements for compliance management that differ from those in the private sector due to a variety of special features. In addition to this practical core, the book also draws attention in particular to specific aspects of compliance in public companies.
