The growing challenge of managing compliance and risk

In recent years, businesses and organisations have struggled to manage increasingly diverse and complex compliance requirements and risks across their operations and operating environments.

Irrespective of the size of an organisation or its industry, every business or organisation will face compliance requirements and challenges as well as implications of non-compliance.

Compliance management is the process by which a business plans, organises, controls activities that ensure compliance with laws, regulations, standards as well as policies, and codes of conduct that apply to an organization.

The 5 Areas of Compliance Management

Whether you have a dedicated compliance team or not, compliance should be managed. Everyone in an organisation should be aware of and support the compliance requirements linked to their area of responsibility as well as support the active and continuous management of them.

There are broadly 5 areas of compliance management:

Detecting and identifying risks that organisation faces – i.e. Due to failures, new trends or regulations.

Prevent compliance issues and risk through rules, internal awareness, educations, training, controls and procedures.

Monitors and reports on the effectiveness of compliance controls & risk exposure and violations to management.

Resolves compliance issues and requests as they arise, i.e. Query or audit.

Acts as advisory on compliance and how to address issues as well as mitigate or avoid risk. Compliance teams or individuals often work as partners to the various business functions to align business functions and processes with compliant procedures.

Compliance can be a major source of business risk & pain or it can support competitive advantage and customer experiences if managed correctly.
