I recently sat down with NAVEX Global to discuss how Compliance should approach the use of artificial intelligence (AI). As businesses begin to grapple with its use, Compliance needs to get in the conversation now. Here’s the blog they created from our conversation.
There’s a new best practice for speak up and investigations that has it all. It will make your data set fuller. It will give you more insight into trends and problem areas. It will help you to see the effectiveness of your Speak Up program, especially when it comes to managers. Sound good? It is!
Should I stay or should I go? A new job can seem like a panacea to all your woes. If you’re being micromanaged, working in an unappreciative environment, being subjected to endless working hours, or being asked to take calls at all hours of the day and night, you’re likely browsing LinkedIn hoping to find an escape.
Or maybe you’re simply open to change even though you’re relatively happy where you are. Whether actively seeking a new opportunity or if one falls into your lap, it’s always difficult to know whether to leave.
I recently sat down with the one and only Adam Turteltaub of the SCCE to join him on his Compliance Perspectives podcast. We talked about a very important and controversial topic. When should you keep your compliance program global, and when should you allow for local versions? We’re hashing it out here.
The cat is out of the bag! If you saw my video last week, you’ll know that I am finishing my next book, and I am so excited about it.
It’s no secret that Mary Shirley is compliance gold. She’s a podcasting guru, award-winning author, and thought leader. She’s also got a brand new book coming out that’s already reached #1 in Amazon pre-sales in the industry!
Compliance officers are used to being good at things. After all, our careers require a certain level of academic mastery and we must have emotional intelligence and business acumen to deal with senior management.
Americans are celebrating the Fourth of July holiday this week, commemorating the separation of the United States as an independent country from the United Kingdom. Battles for independence can be long and filled with difficulty, including moments where freedom fighters feel defeated.
As a profession and department, compliance is still young. Debates still rage about whether compliance needs to be independent, and what “independence” actually means in practice.
Nearly every compliance program we evaluate at Spark Compliance has the same problem – failure to have a pre- and post-merger and acquisition (M&A) protocol in place that officially involves compliance in M&A activity.
If you find out there’s been an acquisition without any compliance-related due diligence, you’re probably feeling stuck (and maybe a bit panicked). Or perhaps you’ve proposed a pre- and post-M&A plan and you’re getting pushback on its breadth.
What is the minimum you can get away with to still have a good enough approach?
Human rights assessments are an increasingly closely watched area of due diligence for the supply chain of organizations across numerous industries. Even smaller operators are subject to the reality of today’s global supply chains, and everyone from customers to regulators are watching to see how organizations treat people and the planet. Visibility into the ethics and practices of vendors – and for that matter, the operations of any organization – are more important than ever before.
