Board Member Q + A

We work with your board to help them answer these and other questions related to their oversight of the compliance program:

 

  • What should board members consider when determining whether their organization has implemented and is operating an “effective” compliance program?

  • What is required for a compliance program to be “effective?”

  • What do regulators and enforcement officials look for when they are judging the effectiveness of compliance programs after a problem has occurred?

  • Are the compliance officer’s reporting relationships and access to the board appropriate?

  • Does the compliance officer spend adequate time with the board to facilitate appropriate oversight?

  • Is the Board currently receiving and evaluating the right compliance-related materials?

  • Is the board made aware of allegations or concerns of significant inappropriate conduct?

  • Is the organization correlating information to properly identify risks?

  • Does the board see appropriate evidence that corrective action plans for compliance and audit issues are timely and fully implemented?

  • Are experts being used where appropriate to bolster the board’s understanding and oversight of the compliance program?
