Defining compliance can be daunting. Is it complying with legal mandates and regulations established by the US Federal Sentencing Guidelines, UK Bribery Act, multiple international laws and industry-specific bodies? Is it establishing an ethical culture? Is it managing third party risk? Is it establishing the voluntary policies resulting from contractual obligations and internal decisions and then putting controls in place? Is it developing and then training on Code of Conduct and other high impact topics? Is it managing and investigating the issues and cases that result from hotline submissions and alleged misbehavior? Is it general oversight and Board reporting? Is it successfully collaboring with audit?
Simply, 'yes'.
We enhance compliance effectiveness by treating compliance as a business process - while understanding that the underlying goal is an ethical and 'speak up' culture
