Defining 'compliance' can be daunting. Is it complying with legal mandates and regulations established by the US Federal Sentencing Guidelines, UK Bribery Act, etc? 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 working with audit?
Simply, 'yes'.
We treat compliance as a business process while understanding the underlying goal of an ethical and 'speak up' culture
SAI Global's compliance solutions are built on an overall governance, risk and compliance (GRC) approach that provides organizations with the tools, technology, training and expertise to effectively and efficiently manage legal, ethical and regulatory obligations and policies as a business process. The value of looking at managing compliance as a business process is that the elements of your programme, linked together by technology, can provide a single view into your programme and its results, and free up scarce human resources for higher value projects.
Our compliance solutions include:
- A policy management approach that links policies into company operations and that integrates policy training, attestation, disclosure and control into our broader compliance technology platforms
- Every aspect of Code of Conduct from review and development to training, awareness, evaluation and benchmarking
- Compliance and ethics training, education and awareness including business ethics and a variety of global and jurisdiction-specific risk areas including hot button areas like the UK Bribery Act, FCPA, import-export regulation and insider trading
- A phone and web-based hotline that both meets the mandates of whistleblower legislation and provides a safe, secure way to report allegations of workplace misconduct
- Case management technology that captures information gleaned from policies, disclosures, questionnaires, certifications and hotline submissions and can integrate with our core learning and/or GRC platforms to improve issue management efficiency and identify lead indicators
- Technology to create a tailored Compliance Obligations Register with dashboards, calendars and reminders that ensure important tasks aren't back burnered
- A reporting solution that eliminates 'spreadsheet overload' and provides Board-ready presentation materials and analyses
- Regulatory news that delivers relevant and timely information to those that require instant access to actionable information
- Specific solutions dedicated to anti-corruption and environment, health and safety
Our full-service compliance management teams - sales, services, product development, instructional design, consulting and advisory services - are located in the US, UK and Australia and are ready to tailor a solution that addresses your core compliance and GRC needs.
