Annotation: The article examines the concept of compliance as a comprehensive system for ensuring that an organiza- tion’s activities comply with legal requirements, other mandatory norms, as well as internal rules and ethical standards. The research methodology is based on dialectical, systemic, structural-functional, and comparative legal methods. The evolution of this institution in the Russian legal system is analyzed, tracing its shift from a narrow understanding as a control and supervision function to its perception as an integral element of cor- porate culture and risk management system. The place of compliance in the corporate governance structure is defined as a link between strategic and operational levels. Special attention is paid to the legal aspects of implementing compliance systems and their impact on minimizing legal and reputational corporate risks. As a result, the study identifies the main problems of the fragmented legal regulation of compliance in Russia and proposes specific solutions, including legislative formalization of the conceptual framework and the develop- ment of incentive mechanisms. In the text of the article, the Russian Federation is abbreviated as RF.
