Get More on Compliance Risk Management
What is compliance risk?
Compliance risk is a firm’s potential exposure to serious consequences stemming from a failure to comply with predefined industry rules, regulations, bylaws, internal policies, or prescribed best practices. Compliance risk is also commonly referred to as integrity risk.
Potential consequences of noncompliance can be serious, and may include material loss of assets, legal penalties, or financial forfeiture. Other negative effects include a decline in reputation, valuation, and business opportunities.
Firms of all shapes and sizes—including public, private, for-profit, nonprofit and government organizations—can be subject to contractual or regulatory compliance risk. Organizations governed by industry regulations, or the government itself, are required to follow compliance rules and are therefore subject to risk.
Firms employ numerous risk and compliance tools to stay above board at all times and satisfy compliance requirements. Compliance risk management tools, including compliance risk management software, can drive overall compliance risk management performance—helping firms to navigate and stay on top of new developments within a given industry.
Effective compliance risk assessment tools offer features to help minimize compliance risk. Risk and compliance tools are built to quickly identify violations within a central repository, automatically activate in response to defined events related to risk, and streamline auditing processes by offering predefined compliance risk reports.
How do internal audits help in the management of compliance risk?
Internal audits play a pivotal role in helping companies be proactive about reducing compliance risk, by checking on their own compliance efforts and success before an external audit occurs. It makes sense to schedule regular internal audits to help prevent issues from arising in the first place whenever possible.
Internal audits, with the aid of risk and compliance tools—including compliance risk management tools and compliance risk management software—create enough time for your firm to get out in front of any possible compliance risks. An internal audit allows you to assess whether your organization, and your compliance risk management scheme, are developed enough in the first place for further third-party auditing.
Internal audits position an organization to meet its compliance risk management objectives. A successful internal audit operates systematically to evaluate and enhance the effectiveness of risk management tools, governance processes, and control measures.
To optimize an organization's security processes, it makes sense to use risk management compliance tools. Internal audits may begin as broad in scope. But the risk and compliance tools used along the way can help ensure key elements are in place, including asset safeguards, operational efficacy, fraud deterrents, and overall compliance with contracts, bylaws, and regulations.
