Indonesian Compliance Partners

Our Compliance Methodology

Indonesian Compliance Partners applies a structured, risk-based, and context-specific methodology in delivering compliance advisory services.

Our methodology is designed to ensure that compliance programs are:

  • Proportionate to the organization’s risk profile
  • Aligned with Indonesian regulatory requirements
  • Consistent with internationally recognized standards
  • Practical, auditable, and sustainable

Key Methodological Principles

1. Risk-Based Approach
We prioritize compliance efforts based on regulatory, operational, and reputational risk exposure, enabling organizations to focus resources on areas of highest impact.

2. Contextualized to Indonesia
Our methodology reflects the realities of operating in Indonesia, including regulatory hierarchy, enforcement practices, and sector-specific obligations.

3. Framework-Driven, Not Template-Based
We use internationally recognized frameworks as reference points, while tailoring implementation to the organization’s structure, scale, and maturity.

4. Independence and Objectivity
All assessments and recommendations are made independently, without influence from commercial interests or regulatory outcomes.

5. Auditability and Sustainability
Our work products are designed to withstand internal and external scrutiny and to remain effective beyond initial implementation.

Engagement Process

Our typical engagement follows a structured sequence:

  1. Scoping and Risk Identification
    Understanding the organization’s regulatory environment, operational footprint, and compliance risk landscape.
  2. Assessment and Gap Analysis
    Evaluating existing policies, processes, and controls against applicable regulations and relevant standards.
  3. Design and Enhancement
    Developing or strengthening compliance frameworks, policies, and controls in a manner proportionate to identified risks.
  4. Implementation Support
    Supporting the organization in operationalizing compliance measures through guidance, tools, and documentation.
  5. Review and Continuous Improvement
    Assessing effectiveness and recommending refinements to address regulatory changes and evolving risks.

Standards and Framework Alignment

Indonesian Compliance Partners aligns its methodology with widely recognized international frameworks and standards, where relevant to the engagement scope.

International Frameworks

Our work may reference and align with the following frameworks:

  • COSO Internal Control – Integrated Framework
    for governance, internal control, and risk management structures.
  • ISO 37001 Anti-Bribery Management Systems
    for the design and assessment of anti-bribery and anti-corruption programs.
  • United Nations Global Compact (UNGC)
    as a reference for principles relating to human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption.
  • UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs)
    for human rights due diligence and grievance mechanisms.
  • OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises
    for responsible business conduct and supply chain considerations.
  • Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards
    for sustainability and ESG-related disclosures.

Alignment with these frameworks does not imply certification unless explicitly stated.

Indonesian Regulatory Alignment

Our advisory services are grounded in a thorough understanding of the Indonesian regulatory landscape.

We consider:

  • Hierarchy and interaction of laws, government regulations, and implementing regulations
  • Sector-specific regulatory requirements
  • Practical enforcement expectations and supervisory practices
  • Interactions with regulators and oversight bodies

This ensures that compliance recommendations are not only theoretically sound, but also practically applicable within the Indonesian context.

Outcome-Oriented Advisory

The objective of our methodology is not merely regulatory compliance, but the establishment of compliance systems that:

  • Support good governance
  • Reduce legal and reputational risk
  • Enhance organizational resilience
  • Enable informed decision-making at the board and management level

Why Our Methodology Matters

Our approach allows organizations to move beyond checklist compliance and toward structured, defensible, and sustainable compliance practices that meet both local regulatory expectations and international standards.
