- The essence of compliance management is a kind of risk management. In the words of the Basel Banking Regulatory Commission's Guiding Principles: "Compliance should be viewed as a core risk management activity within the bank." Compliance management is nothing new. There is an old saying: there is no rule without a rule. Compliance, as the name implies, is in line with the rules, "behaving according to the rules."
