Untangled - Simplifying Corporate Compliance

Rules, rules, rules... Policies, SOPs, manuals and guardrails...  This is how we often perceive compliance - daunting and uninspiring.  And that is because many programmes are created as such (perhaps for all the right reasons?).

But is that possible to design and build a compliance programme that empowers people?, lets them make decisions?, and even make mistakes? Can compliance managers foster the culture of collaboration and shared vision?

Join us for Episode 8 of the Untangled, and comment if you agree or disagree with what Podcast Contributors have to say on this subject matter.

Some Compliance & Ethics professionals might like to think of themselves as superheroes, flying in to save the day and rescue the company from the dastardly plans of everyday corporate villainy.  In reality, episodes of wrong-doing are rarely so cut and dried and there is a lot that we can all learn from misconduct.

In this episode we look at how to best handle investigations and misconduct to avoid a blame culture and truly understand why things go wrong,

They are often dubbed as "business blockers", "NO! people", and "worse than lawyers".  They rarely have a popular table at a company's Christmas party.  They walk down the corridor and other people start speaking quieter or leave the coffee area.

And if you end up with a compliance officer in a casual setting - what would you talk about?  Can you share all those fun stories about your customer meetings?  Should you mention that you just completed the Code of Conduct training?  Is it ok to joke about T&E limits on drinks?

In Episode 5 we will try to untangle a peculiar question - why don't people like compliance officers, and whether compliance function can be run with a smile.  Join the conversation on your preferred podcast platform, and please share your comments below.

Your heart sinks, you just received an automated email informing you that it’s time for some mandatory compliance training.  Why must you suffer through this? What did you do wrong?  Never mind, perhaps you'll just be able to click "start" and then go and get a cup of tea whilst it plays in the background...

Despite best efforts, we all, including compliance professionals, dislike the majority of compliance training that we are subject to.  In this episode of Untangled, Stephanie asks the team to share the good, the bad and the ugly of compliance training and to suggest some ways in which it can be more effective, less painful and, dare I even say, enjoyable.
