Abstract

Increased regulation forces financial companies to assure their business processes’ compliance with legal and company-internal rules. In this paper, we introduce a model-driven business process compliance checking approach. It allows for defining compliance rules and identifying their occurrences in process models based on a graph theory-based approach. We outline the challenges to be met in the conceptualization of the approach and especially its implementation through suitable algorithms. Furthermore, we present an according modeling tool and evaluate the approach against related work.
