Compliance Program Advisor

Last Year's Best Practices Are This Year's Standards

Periodically monitoring the effectiveness of an organization’s compliance program is a well-known element of the Organizational Guidelines. As the Department of Justice has noted, one of the purposes of the compliance assessment should be to determine if any new elements of an effective compliance program have been developed in the past year and if they should be incorporated into your company’s compliance program. Ethisphere’s Compliance Program Advisor™ fulfills this task perfectly.
