Regelverkskartläggning

Regelverkskartläggning, often translated as regulatory mapping or compliance mapping, is a systematic process used by organizations to identify, understand, and document all applicable laws, regulations, standards, and internal policies that affect their operations. The primary goal is to ensure that an organization is aware of and adhering to all relevant legal and regulatory requirements. This process involves gathering information from various sources, including government agencies, industry bodies, and legal experts.

The output of a regelverkskartläggning is typically a comprehensive inventory or database that details each relevant regulation, its scope, the specific requirements it imposes, and how the organization currently meets or plans to meet those requirements. This mapping can be done for a specific project, a particular business unit, or the entire organization. It often involves breaking down complex regulations into actionable steps and assigning responsibility for compliance within the organization.

Benefits of conducting a regelverkskartläggning include mitigating legal and financial risks associated with non-compliance, improving operational efficiency by clarifying requirements, and providing a solid foundation for developing and implementing robust compliance programs. It is a crucial tool for risk management, internal control, and strategic planning, especially in highly regulated industries. The process may also identify gaps in current practices and highlight areas where processes need to be updated or implemented to achieve full compliance.
