Compliance Program: alcance y conflictos normativos que presenta dentro del Código Orgánico Integral Penal

Abstract

Following the doctrinal stance of considering the criminal liability of legal entities, the need arises to develop a culture of regulatory compliance. This is where the Compliance Program emerges, as a preventive method aimed at ensuring that companies operate in accordance with current regulations. This concept was introduced in the Comprehensive Organic Criminal Code in 2021 as a means of mitigating penalties. However, the lack of specific regulations within the same Code has led to legal uncertainty, limiting the applicability of the Compliance Program. Therefore, this research will focus on determining the scope of this concept in our legislation in the face of potential regulatory conflicts.
