What makes a compliance and ethics program, effective? How do the Federal Sentencing Guidelines apply to your organization? Are the standards and requirements different for an organization of your size? Should you consider additional requirements that are unique to your industry?

Global Compliance has developed a tool to help you get started.

As outlined by the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, an effective compliance and ethics program (ECEP) requires more than just a hotline. An ECEP will take a variety of factors into consideration, including employee awareness, education, and training, as well as third-party audits and inspections. Global Compliance's Free Compliance Program Gap Analysis is designed to help you understand the gaps in your organization's compliance and ethics program quickly, and at a high-level.

• A Few Simple Questions - The questions are designed to gain a quick but comprehensive understanding of your existing ethics and compliance program.
• Comprehensive, Relevant Answers - The answers pull directly from the expectations set by the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.
• A Clear Set of Next Steps - The recommendations are designed to give you a place to start when evaluating your program and understanding where your organization may be at risk.

Once armed with the results of your gap analysis, you will be in a better position to identify the relevant priorities for your organization. You will also have the confidence to know the steps you need to take to make your compliance and ethics program, effective.

The results of your gap analysis are kept private unless you indicate an interest in being contacted by a Global Compliance Representative. We wait until after you have seen your results to request any contact information so you can be certain that your privacy is respected and maintained.

Global Compliance is the largest (more than 4,000 clients) and most tenured (we invented the first anonymous employee hotline in 1981) provider of compliance solutions in the world. We believe strongly in our ability to help your organization and to improve the effectiveness of your program; whether you are looking to develop a new program, improve an underperforming or ineffective program, or take a high-quality program to the next level.
