Innovation comes in many areas and compliance professionals need to not only be ready for it but embrace it. One of those areas is telehealth and telemedicine. My guest in this episode is Ann Gynn, a content creator specialist.

Ann Gynn is a seasoned content entrepreneur with a rich journalism, marketing, and public relations background, currently serving as the editor at The Tilt and the Creator Content Entrepreneur Expo (CEX). Gynn’s perspective on “content entrepreneurship: balancing creation and business operations” is rooted in her belief that content entrepreneurs can build their audience and run their own media companies, independent of traditional mainstream media outlets.

She emphasizes the importance of creating content and focusing on the business side of entrepreneurship, such as marketing, growing an audience, and monetizing the content.

Data-Driven Compliance is back with another exciting episode. Today, I visit with Marta Cadavid, co-founder of NoFraud Latam who talks about using data-driven compliance to fight fraud.

Marta Cadavid, a Colombian accountant and co-founder and CEO of NoFraud Latam, is a passionate advocate for fraud prevention and detection. Marta’s perspective on “AI-based fraud prevention software developed by Northrop La Tam CEO” is shaped by her belief that fraud is a significant issue causing financial losses for companies and that current detection methods are slow and ineffective.

Mart and her team have developed Fraud Explorer, a software that uses artificial intelligence to detect fraud in real-time, significantly reducing the typical 12-month detection period. Marta emphasizes the importance of a diverse team in developing effective strategies to mitigate risks related to fraud and other misbehaviors in companies. Join Tom Fox and Marta Cadavid on this episode of the Data-Driven Compliance podcast to learn more about her innovative approach to fraud prevention.

Highlights Include:

31 Days to More Effective Compliance Programs

One Month to a More Effective Compliance Program Through Data Analytics: Day 3 – Building An Effective Data Analytics Program

Chief Compliance Officers (CCOs) are increasingly turning to data analytics programs to enhance their compliance efforts. These programs leverage the power of data to identify risks, monitor activities, and detect potential compliance violations. There are several key factors that impact the success of building out data analytics programs. One crucial aspect is the need to define the risks that organizations want to monitor. By identifying the specific risks, compliance officers can focus their data analytics efforts on gathering relevant data and analyzing it to gain insights into potential compliance issues. This process involves thinking innovatively and finding creative ways to capture data that may not be immediately obvious.

Building effective data analytics programs for compliance enhancement requires careful consideration of various factors. Compliance officers must define the risks they want to monitor, identify valuable data sources, and think innovatively to capture relevant data. Leveraging internal expertise and fostering collaboration between different departments is essential for successful implementation. By starting small and gradually expanding their capabilities, organizations can demonstrate their commitment to using data analytics and gain compliance expertise. Ultimately, these programs enable companies to enhance their compliance effectiveness and mitigate risks effectively.

 Three key takeaways:

1. There are multiple factors in the design, creation, and implementation of a data-driven compliance program.

2. A data-driven approach will allow a shift of the focus from individual policy violations to identifying systemic issues.

3. Compliance officers should focus on how to begin and gradually build their capabilities.
