ISO standards on the application of the Criminal Compliance Law in Mexico

Normativa ISO en la aplicación del Criminal Compliance en México

In Mexico, organizational or regulatory compliance controls (also called criminal compliance) are established within the substantive and adjective criminal legislation as mitigating factors for the criminal liability of legal entities, without indicating minimum or basic standards or criteria of operation, which leaves companies the possibility of applying them unilaterally, therefore, using the qualitative method through an exploratory research, this work aims to review the ISO standards and other similar ones used in Mexico, in the search for these minimum operating criteria for the application of compliance or organizational control in criminal matters, whose purpose is to avoid, eliminate and manage risks, obtaining as a result a series of minimum criteria for the application of compliance in criminal matters useful for any company.
