What is a Compliance Profile?

One of the board's most important responsibilities is to ensure that the company is managed within applicable rules and legislation – and with sufficient attention to risks and controls. In one word, this is called compliance.

Overall, board members may be personally liable for damages if the following applies:

  • Basis of liability: There is culpa, i.e., intent or negligence, cf. Companies Act § 361.
  • Damage: The company, capital owners, or third parties have suffered an economic loss.
  • Causal connection: There must be a direct causal connection between the board members' actions or omissions and the loss incurred. Case law shows that the assessment of liability depends on the concrete assessment of the actual circumstances, where the following is relevant:

  • Irresponsible dispositions that violate internal rules or warnings.
  • Passivity in connection with significant decisions.
  • Lack of care in assessing business decisions.
  • The BoardMaster Compliance Profile gives the board a practical profile that creates a simple overview of the board's responsibilities and rules in the most important areas.

    It's not about law for law's sake – but about management with substance. BoardMaster's compliance tool is developed as a practical and value-creating support for the board. It strengthens decision quality, minimizes risk, and creates increased security for board members, owners, and management. In short: A tool that transforms responsibility into action.

    How does BoardMaster Compliance work?

    1. We create your company and board email addresses and send all board members a link to the questionnaire.
    2. In a simple and structured review of the most important rules, you complete with check-box answers
    3. Your response data is calculated as an overall numerical assessment and shows the company's compliance level, including our recommendation to achieve high compliance
    4. We provide a clear visualization of where the board is strong and where attention is needed. In a presentation-friendly PDF format
    5. The direct recommendations, based on the results, can be used in the board's annual cycle and for follow-up

    Repetition builds strength

    The Compliance Profile should be updated annually, especially when board members change, and should be an integral part of the board's annual cycle.

    This ensures that the company is:

    • Updated on legal requirements and regulations
    • Awareness of risks for new board members and updates for existing ones
    • Better prepared to act quickly when something changes
    • Concrete in setting requirements for management
