The first step in creating an effective ethics and compliance program is to evaluate and understand your organization and the specific risks faced by that organization. One size does not fit all; a compliance program should be industry and company specific. Conducting a risk assessment is essential to understanding a company’s compliance needs and priorities. This session will explore the roles, resources and fundamentals necessary to develop, implement and lead an effective risk management process. Panelists will also discuss outcomes and actions based upon the results of the risk assessment process.
