Measuring Program Effectiveness is Front of Mind.

Senior compliance and ethics professionals are spending a considerable amount of time figuring out how to determine the effectiveness of their programs—specifically whether or not the training and communications they use are resonating with their workforce.

Why Are We Here?

Measuring ROI Remains Elusive.

Compliance officers still lack a meaningfulway to measure the ROI of their compliancebudgets. To more effectively elevate thestature, funding and influence compliance has in an organization, compliance teams need to establish a more direct correlation between compliance, company strategy and long-term business profitability.

What Metrics Are Currently Used?

Laura’s Interview w/ DOJ

In all areas – not just FCPA – this is extremely important in my view. I think strong compliance must be data driven. When I was recruiting compliance officers, one of my questions was to ask the candidates to articulate what types of data they would monitor.

My expectation was that a good compliance officer should be able to rattle off a list off the top of their heads and their list will tell me the level of their sophistication as a compliance professional. Similarly, when I look at compliance programs, the kind of data that they do and do not monitor tells me a lot about how sophisticated their program is.

Operational - 2Program processes and controls are in place to mitigate risk and are consistently operating.

Best Practice – 3The processes have achieved best practice criteria.

Transformational – 4The processes have matured beyond best practice criteria and/or is subject to re-engineering due to high impact changes affecting the process.

Employees in a particular country in Asia that had a length of employment with the company for 6-9 years -that had been passed over for promotion, but were not close enough to their pension - were significantly and statistically more likely to commit fraud.

Root Cause of Non-ComplianceBEHAVIORAL FACTORS

Intentional BehaviorAn act of willfully disobeying

Lack of Sensitivity“I wasn’t aware my conduct would have that effect on others.”

Lack of Awareness“I didn’t realize that the conduct was wrong.”

Company Loyalty Rationalization“I was generating profits for the company.”

Legitimate Action Rationalization“It is an outdated rule.” “Everyone else is doing it.”

No Harm Rationalization“It didn’t really hurt anybody.”

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS

Cultural InfluencesCultural differences, from inside or outside the organization.

Financial or Performance IncentivesIncentive compensation or a performance reward drove the violation.

Operational BurdenAn undue operational burden left insufficient time to perform in a compliant manner.

Pressure from Management or PeersPressure to conform or complete tasks at all costs driven by a superior or peers.

Weak ControlsThere were weak controls over the employee or third-party activity.

Areas of Compliance Resource Focus

Recommendation to the Board

1. Address Root Cause of misconduct by quickly removing bad people from organization (intentional behavior) and implementing new controls.

2. Targeted Training for particular group prior to reaching 6 years of service w/ the company (instead of one-size-fits-all approach).

3. 3-6-12 Month Check-Ins to assess progress to ensure proper risk mitigation.
