Toward a Conceptual Model for Cost-Effective Business Process Compliance

Owing to the constant rise in the number of regulatory requirements, checking and ensuring business process compliance (BPC) becomes increasingly complex and thus more costly. Although managing BPC in a cost-effective way is critical for organisations, it lacks a corresponding domain model. In response, the paper at hand introduces a theoretically grounded conceptual model including necessary domain-specific elements, attributes and methods for cost-effective BPC. The model maps the operating principle of cost-effectiveness calculations in a BPC environment.
