Hopefully you now understand that many of the traditional functions of HR can be seen as compliance internal controls. At every touchpoint in the lifecycle of the employment relationship there is a HR touchpoint. Fulfilling those touchpoints can be controls for compliance. If you think of multiple HR functions as compliance internal controls, one of the questions becomes how can you determine if HR is meeting the standards of a best practices compliance program? One place to start is with a gap analysis to determine what HR has in place that can facilitate your company’s compliance program.
Finally, work with HR to create a consolidated Human Resources Compliance Audit Checklist that can be used to audit (and document) the company’s HR Compliance Program. The key to compliance, in my opinion, is having the proper structure to identify the issues, implement policies and procedures to address the issues, audit for compliance and “Document, Document, and Document”.

Ishaan Nerurkar is the Founder and CEO of LeapYear Technologies. He chats with Vince Walden about his company, in particular, the technology that they have developed. Ishaan gives his background in the fields of data and research, and how it birthed LeapYear. He noticed that every heavily regulated industry had challenges with regards to sharing and using sensitive data, and that, while there were solutions, they were unable to prevent the data from being compromised. His company, LeapYear, has created technology to answer the next-generation problem of how to make sensitive data available without exposing the raw data itself, what Ishaan calls “differential privacy.” He describes differential privacy as a lens with a gradient of transparency to opacity as isolation of data increases.
Listen to the episode now:
Vince asks what separates LeapYear’s technology from open source tools. Ishaan shares the key difference between their technology and open source libraries: open-source libraries are designed primarily for research purposes, so they provide tools to obtain that research. They do not provide protection. LeapYear’s technology, on the other hand, is a layer on top of your data whose purpose is to ensure that insights can be obtained without exposing the raw data underneath. LeapYear Technologies’ other purpose is to educate the community on how they can protect their data.

Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.
In today’s episode of Great Women in Compliance, Lisa speaks with Ellen Hunt, who is the Senior Vice President and Audit, Ethics and Compliance Officer for AARP. Ellen has accomplished so much for the compliance community, in the field and is a friend, advocate and mentor to a lot of people, Lisa and Mary included.
Following along from the episode a few weeks ago about a dream compliance team, this discussion is about what makes a great Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer (although the title may differ from place to place).
The discussion includes a discussion of what the roles and responsibilities are and should be for a new CECO. This includes some thought about how to manage expectations of a Board and executive team, including the idea of looking at a program and seeing what may not be needed before adding new initiatives.
Ellen also talks about the best ways to lead a team, balancing the needs of high performers with other team members as a new CECO. She provides a few practical strategies that anyone can use at any time with their teams or within the organization.
