  Compliance has traditionally been a reactive activity, where directives and
guidelines have been formally documented and, to a large extent, been assumed
to be followed. This traditional approach does not always work, and failure to
be compliant has various consequences for many companies, ranging from
penalties and fines to lockout of business opportunities and markets.
Continuous compliance using calculated event log layers brings compliance into
a continuous mode, where risk vectors become visible in real-time data and
actions are taken continuously and proficiently. Our model of process mining
utilizes calculated events to implement this continuous form of compliance
management. Continuous compliance refers to observing possible compliance
violations and also includes the ability to provide real-time and prompt
feedback to the responsible Compliance officers who will take the preventive
actions in parallel. Continuous compliance is also explored from the viewpoint
of Trade Compliance with a case study.
