When investigating a company, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is required to consider certain factors. The adequacy and efficiency of the company’s compliance program is one of the primary factors that must be evaluated prior to deciding whether to file charges. Compliance risk can be managed by instituting an organization-wide compliance program that is both robust and adaptable. Organizations would be wise to seek out and utilize compliance system creation and maintenance tools. A new whitepaper recently published that can be downloaded outlines how the new ISO 37301 standard is reshaping the future of compliance and how it can assist businesses to mitigate compliance risk.
