Abstract

Introduction: Corporate risk management today presents numerous challenges derived from the multiplicity of relationships that arise from commercial relationships, with different stakeholders, requiring greater controls. Methodology: This qualitative research at a descriptive and analytical level seeks to review the problems derived from the increase in crime derived from behaviors such as bribery and human rights violation in the supply chain Results: These relationships require a level of diligence that has been a concern of various international organizations in terms of respect for human rights, sustainability, well-being and transparency in the conduct of trade. For this reason, this research is focused on analyzing the international guidelines and standards issued by organizations such as the United Nations (UN), the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the Financial Action Task Force and the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), their incorporation into the domestic sphere, either at the state regulatory level or through self-regulation, especially with regard to Venezuelan companies. Discussions: The purpose is to guide towards the prevention and mitigation of risks; research linked to the preservation of peace and justice, through the achievement of solid organizations, based on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 16. Conclusions: The commitment to sustainable culture and the implementation of compliance management systems will be the keys to achieving good corporate governance.
