In this episode, Tom Fox and Matt Kelly take a deep dive into the study, 2024 Benchmarking Study: Testing & Monitoring and Data & Systems, jointly conducted by Radical Compliance and Rethink Compliance.
The study raises critical concerns about the access and effectiveness of data testing in compliance programs. While many compliance officers engage in some level of testing, there is a significant gap in comprehensive testing and access to necessary data across enterprises. Only a small percentage tracks key performance indicators (KPIs) at granular levels, such as individual or department, which are essential for understanding program effectiveness. The discussion also highlights the importance of access to data from different departments, like HR and Finance, to improve compliance monitoring and alignment with DOJ guidelines. The episode concludes with a call for continued research, emphasizing the interconnectedness of data access, comprehensive testing, and compliance success.
