Abstract

Business process regulatory compliance management (RCM) is ensuring that the business processes of an organization are in accordance with laws and other domain-specific regulations. In order to achieve compliance, various approaches advocate checking process models using formal compliance rules that are derived from regulations. However, this shifts the problem of ensuring compliance to the rules - for example, the derived rules have to be updated in the case that regulations are changed. In this paper we show how existing RCM solutions can be extended with traceability between compliance rules and regulations. Traceability supports the alignment of regulations and rules and thus helps improving the overall maintainability of compliance rules.
