Abstract

The concept of compliance emerged in the 1990s, but only in recent years has it become the subject of legal studies. The institute gained legal and criminal relevance, mainly with the entry into force of Law 9,613, of March 3, 1998, and Resolution No. 2,554, of September 24, 1998, of the National Monetary Council. Since then, financial institutions and publicly traded companies have had a duty to cooperate with money laundering investigations (so-called “compliance duties”) and to create internal control systems that prevent corruption, money laundering, and other conduct that could jeopardize the integrity of the financial system.
