ON THE ISSUE OF INTRODUCING THE TERM «COMPLIANCE» IN THE BUSINESS FIELD IN UKRAINE

Abstract

The article examines the issue of transferring in Ukrainian the term of foreign origin «compliance», which is becoming more common in the business field in Ukraine and at the same time has variability in approaches to its transfer in Ukrainian. The author studies the works of domestic and foreign scientists in the field of terminology, on the basis of which the proof of the argument on the use of the concept of compliance in the business field is built. In this regard, the paper analyzes the etymology of the word «compliance», gives the ways of its origin, and proves the international nature of the concept of compliance through the study of its designation in the languages of different language families and groups, namely: Czech, Mongolian, German, Japanese, French and Spanish. The author investigates the use of the Ukrainian term «комплаєнс» transliterated from English in Ukrainian science and legislation to designate the term «compliance», as well as variations of the translation of the term «compliance» with the specifically Ukrainian words «дотримання» and «відповідність». The article analyzes the expediency of alternative notation of the concept through the use of the specifically Ukrainian words «дотримання» or «відповідність» compared with the use of its transliterated counterpart through the prism of the nature of the compliance concept, the goals of implementing this phenomenon in Ukraine, its consistency and transfer of terms related to the term «комплаєнс». The author concludes that the Ukrainianlanguage terms for «compliance» using translated phrases do not meet the requirements for terminological units, and at the same time highlights the advantages of using the term transliterated from English. The article also proves the expediency of using the international term «compliance» as a transliterated lexical unit in the business field considering the globalization and European integration processes that affect the representatives of domestic business. The paper identifies prospective research areas of the term «комплаєнс» and provides recommendations for its unification in the legislation of Ukraine, in particular, in banking and anti-corruption legislation.
