Taking the Broad View: Better Risk and Compliance through Holistic Oversight
Taking the Broad View: Better Risk and Compliance through Holistic Oversight
Are you worried that you’re missing something in your compliance program, but at the same time afraid to open the floodgates? With regulatory pressures what they are today, compliance teams can’t take the view that what they don’t know won’t hurt them. And without the right processes and technology in place compliance professionals can spend too much time hunting and gathering information within their organization and not enough time doing the high-level advisory work that adds real value to their firm.
In order to be effective advisors, compliance teams must have a clear and holistic view of their organization’s risk profile. Join Mitch Avnet, Founder and Managing Partner at Compliance Risk Concepts, and Richard Pike from MCO for a webinar providing practical guidance on what compliance leaders can be doing to develop holistic oversight of compliance risk across their organization, including:
- Tracking regulatory updates and understanding their impact
- Identifying gaps in policies and controls
- Ordering and prioritizing efforts and activities
- Leveraging technology to manage data and analytics
