Having a Difficult Time Finding Qualified Compliance Staff?
One thing we have learned in our 20+ years of managing, or helping organizations to manage, compliance programs is that hiring seasoned, experience compliance staff can be challenging. The compliance profession is relatively new. Formal educational programs to prepare compliance officers for the complex task of operating a compliance program have only existed for a decade. And norms for what makes for an effective compliance officer are still developing. If you are struggling to find the right compliance officer, or to fill another important role in your compliance function, our interim or outsourced compliance staffing solutions may be the right answer for you.
Interim Staffing & Outsourced Solutions

We would be happy to discuss possible approaches or models for outsourcing the compliance officer role, or for outsourcing aspects of your compliance program function.

You are managing a challenging investigation, or are preparing to implement a corporate integrity agreement, and you’re looking for interim help to assure that the compliance program succeeds.
