It may not take a village, but it definitely takes collaboration over a common goal to build a truly robust compliance program. A strong compliance program engages more than just a firm’s compliance officers; this discussion will include practical advice and real examples of how compliance departments— large and small— can work best with their peers in legal, human resources, sourcing, audit, and risk, as well as the internal clients that they serve. In this session, we will consider how the compliance function can remain independent while still working collaboratively with the business and with its peer support functions.
