Listen "Day 19 - Evaluating Risk Assessments"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to a special podcast series on the Compliance Podcast Network, 31 Days to a More Effective Compliance Program. Over these 31 days of the series in January 2025, Tom Fox will post a key part of a best practices compliance program daily. By the end of January, you will have enough information to create, design, or enhance a compliance program. Each podcast will be short, at 6-8 minutes, and will include three key takeaways you can implement at little or no cost to help update your compliance program. I hope you will join us each day in January for this exploration of best practices in compliance.
In today's episode, we review the critical process of evaluating and translating risk assessments into actionable risk profiles. The discussion highlights the importance of prioritizing risks based on their significance and likelihood using risk matrices and heat maps. Expert insights from Ben Locwin and Bill Anathas emphasize focusing resources on high-risk employees and maintaining a robust compliance program aligned with FCPA guidelines. The episode also covers the Treasury Department's OFAC compliance framework and offers concrete steps for continuous risk monitoring and remediation. Key takeaways include the necessity of a well-reasoned approach to risk evaluation, thorough documentation, and the implementation of a dynamic risk matrix to guide compliance efforts.
Key highlights:
· Understanding Risk Profiles
· Evaluating Risk Management Processes
· Risk Matrix and Heat Maps
