PROGRAM STRATEGY & PLANNING
Program Design and Launch
Whether it is to build a program from scratch or to augment your compliance program after changes in the company’s risk profile, we can help design a program that meets global regulatory standards such as US Department of Justice’s Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs and the UK Bribery Act, and launch strategic initiatives to execute that framework.
Program Assessment
Companies may execute some aspects of a compliance program but may not have all the components necessary to mitigate compliance risks. We can help you assess current compliance efforts and identify key areas to help close the gaps.
Compliance Risk Assessment
A compliance risk assessment helps companies identify key risks so that they can strategically deploy resources in the areas that matter the most. We can do the work to help you identify those key risks to inform your compliance program strategy.
Program strategy Workshops
It’s extremely valuable to reassess the program strategy regularly to ensure that resources are being used in the most efficient and effective way possible. We lead facilitated workshops to help you take a step back and strategize the best way forward for your program.
TRAINING & COMMUNICATION
Risk-Based Curriculum
Training is a huge investment of time for an organization that often comes with little ROI. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, we can help you develop a risk-based curriculum that mitigates risks for different employee populations in ways that maximize awareness and knowledge retention.
Content Development and Delivery
We are skilled at developing and delivering webinar training content with a creative approach that engages different target audiences.
Vendor Management
We are experienced in working with training providers to develop and rollout out training campaigns.
Communication Development
We can develop a communication plan using existing and new communication vehicles and draft content that amplify the messaging of the ethics & compliance program.
POLICY & PROCEDURES
Code of Conduct
An effective Code of Conduct reflects the culture and values of the company and sets the foundation of how employees should behave. We can help you develop an effective Code of Conduct, an engagement strategy and manager tools that engage your employees and drives ethical behavior.
Whistleblowing Hotline Implementation
A speak up culture is crucial to an effective ethics and compliance program, and and an effective hotline is a key component. We can help you implement the platform and launch it in a way that promotes trust and strengthens this culture.
Policy Development and Rollout
Policies set the standards for how employees should behave and should be written in a way that is easily digestible and referenceable. We can help you draft and revise policies and implement them so that employees truly understand what’s expected of them.
STRATEGIC INITIATIVES
Third-Party Risk Management
A strategic supplier can expose your company to costly compliance risks if proper due diligence is not performed. We can help you develop a process for third-party due diligence and ongoing risk management so that third-parties do not end up negatively impacting your company.
M&A Due Diligence and Integration
Legal due diligence and integration is not enough to mitigate the compliance risks of companies looking to acquire a company. We help conduct due diligence to identify and address compliance risks pre-transaction, and develop and implement the integration plan post-transaction to ensure that the acquired company aligns with the culture and values of the parent company.
Post-Investigation Remediation
After a substantiated policy breach, it is important to take remediation actions so that similar breaches do not recur. We can help develop and implement remediation actions by working cross-functionally within your organization to get the right collaborators onboard.
