Compliance and
Corporate Governance
Transparency, Accountability and Value
Increasing levels of cross vertical regulation mean that organisations face the constant challenge of demonstrating compliance through corporate governance. The failure of many large organisations coupled with an increased sense of consumer responsibility means that external regulatory bodies continue to be set up in order to enforce improvement. The ability to demonstrate compliance with minimal manual intervention is typical of high performing organisations and as the network infrastructure forms the underlying basis of all corporate communication an appropriate strategy for compliance in this area is essential. An aggressive approach to compliance controls can adversely impact business agility and flexibility so it is always important to take a balanced approach aligned to industry best working practice.
What are the Benefits?
- Compliance while retaining flexibility
- Avoids the expensive “sticking plaster” approach
- Adheres to industry best working practice
- Addresses the concern over a constantly changing compliance landscape
- Drives tangible business improvements not inefficient resource utilisation
- Automation of compliance reporting in real time
- Supports brand protection
How is this Achieved?
- Compliance landscape – a clear understanding of the compliance landscape appropriate to your organisation with a focus on the underlying reason for compliance in addition to the specific compliance criteria
- Compliance controls – implement appropriate compliance controls while adhering to industry best working practice. An overriding compliance strategy should be fully understood, advertised and implemented as this approach has proven to save precious resources in the long run as well as ensuring minimal impact to business flexibility. A silo-based model that focuses only on isolated compliance criteria conforms to a tick box strategy that provides limited business value
- Compliance monitoring and reporting – compliance systems should constantly monitor conformity and the provision of current status should be achievable with minimal manual effort.
