This paper aims at analyzing a new tool in the fight against corruption in the country, which is bad for all sectors of our society, with disastrous consequences in several sectors such as health, education, public security, bringing political and economic stagnation, besides discredit the population in the institutions. In this way, it begins with the history of the compliance tool brought by Law 12.846 / 13, passing through its reflexes in some branches of Law. Subsequently, the analysis of the anti-corruption law is passed, bringing the positive and critical points that came with its promulgation, bringing a succinct analogy with other laws of the legal system, analyzing other innovations with it with the intention of avoiding illegal acts in the legal entity , demonstrating the sustainability that such measures could bring to the country if they were put into practice, the consequences of their non-compliance and the respective civil and administrative sanctions. In conclusion, we verified that the Brazilian legal system already has several laws in the fight against illegal practices and practices of corruption, bringing more efficiency if the institutions responsible for investigations and the Judiciary Power were better structured and equipped.
