What's better than closing season 1 by discussing business compliance?

You started a business and thought it will be a nice and shiny journey :)

But then you realized there are so many rules and laws you should be compliant with! Sounds familiar?

The last thing that you want to deal with as a business owner, is lawsuits and going to court for lack of compliance or evidence to keep you compliant!

What's the connection between our host's hairdresser and helping you be 100% compliant?

In this episode we are discussing the following:

2. What are the potential legal and financial risks for small-medium business owners who manage non-desk employees?

3. What are the industries that need to pay attention to the most

According to a study by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE), organizations lose an average of 5% of their annual revenue due to fraud and compliance issues. This translates to an estimated loss of $3.5 trillion each year for businesses worldwide. Furthermore, the ACFE found that companies with strong compliance programs experienced a median loss of only $140,000, compared to companies with weak compliance programs who experienced a median loss of $1.13 million. These figures emphasize the importance of having a strong compliance program in place to protect your business from costly losses.
