3) Compliance professionals collect and analyze metrics and hard data, but they also draw from a variety of brush sizes and hues when painting a picture of that data for their organizations. introduction Shortly after Katherine Kelton, an alum of Duane Morris, landed the role of Chief Compliance Officer at Aramark, she logged into the Duane Morris Alumni page on LinkedIn to seek out benchmarking from peers. Her query led to the creation of the Carpe DM: Compliance and Risk Professionals Education program. The inaugural event, held in October in Philadelphia, brought together executives and on-the-ground professionals in the compliance space across industries to learn and to network. A general panel on trends was followed by three different breakout sessions—all geared toward tackling pain points and offering survival tips. Speakers from Comcast, Endo International plc and Corporate Executive Board (CEB) joined Kelton on the dais. Said one attendee: “Usually compliance events are segmented by industry. This event was great because I could learn from folks in different industries and realize that when it comes to a lot of compliance issues, I’m not alone.” The compliance function is neither an art nor a science, but its practitioners benefit from the concepts behind both. Compliance professionals collect and analyze metrics and hard data, but they also draw from a variety of brush sizes and hues when painting a picture of that data for their organizations. The palette of skills and personalities has grown: Compliance staff now more than ever include those skilled in project management, in addition to auditing and law. And with communication and relationship-building key skills for success, today’s compliance officer should strive to develop a colorful and diverse toolbox. What follows is a closer look at the conversation. 2

4) Independence Matters Moderator Bill Hughes of CEB began by citing varies based on industry and where you are in “It really depends on senior management and “If it’s working,” agreed Smollen, “don’t mess CEB’s latest 2014 data on independence. “Fifty- program development.

In addition, when you’re for our program. I think objectivity, rather than advocacy of the GC, that’s fine. Not every in that direction (away from the GC’s scope of in the compliance function, as opposed to the independence, may be a better focus.

Make sure you are first using including training, code of conduct, your resources to manage your highest areas policy of risk.” While “If you have responsibilities,” most compliance management, a he compliance risk assessment, hotline management and investigations, privacy, others, records such as management “Where I see the scope creep is in data and managing a set of our risks, and looking through our lens and seeing a broader trade compliance, tend to fall to the issue,” said Smollen. “T&E is the classic compliance officer’s desk. Hughes asked, one. From a compliance perspective, Endo “What’s one thing on your plate that you has to monitor travel and expenses as they don’t think should live in compliance?” relate to dealing with health professionals, Said Kelton: “It’s a very good question. but that doesn’t mean we are ‘owning’ Our heat map currently contains risk the broader T&E function. You want to areas that date back to our original help the other parts of the organization,” risk assessment. So I have to analyze he continued, “but there needs to be it regularly to see if I can streamline infrastructure to protect against scope it. You have to limit scope around the creep.” Another example, Smollen said, is biggest risk,” she said. For example: that “we own training, but it doesn’t mean I Treasury risk. “That’s handled by internal can own every part of the training structure controls,” said Kelton. “Perhaps I don’t across the whole company.” need to report on that.” You have to limit scope around the biggest risk. 6 7

6) The Business Case for Compliance “Imagine,” offered Hughes, “you have Also, businesses evolve and change. a new CFO and you’re sitting in his Our company today is different than or her office discussing next year’s it was three years ago, and I know budget. You’re making a case for a it will be very different next year and slight budget increase, but the CFO three years from now.” Compliance comes from a company that spent budgets need to be prepared for new far less on the compliance and ethics compliance issues. function. Your CFO wants a 15-percent budget cut and asks, ‘Why are we “Your CFO is going to be interested spending so much on compliance? We in how you grow the business,” added haven’t had any major issues in years. Smollen. “In order to manage the risks Now that we’ve built the program over of the growth strategy, a compliance the last few years and established program can’t ever be static. Around effective controls, I think we can put budget time, I try to be in tune with these dollars to better use elsewhere.’” the business strategies.” One tip, he offered, is to try to use the information Hughes asked the panel: “What are compliance gathers to help the bottom one or two bullet points you might use line. “We have so much data on how to make your case and defend your the business operates, and we see budget?” business operational trends, so maybe that data can help business operators “My first thought is to focus on the to work more efficiently.” return on investment,” said Heller. “Anything that you spend Kelton noted: “In the absence of a non- toward compliance would be made compliance event, it can be difficult to back on some scale; inevitably, a make a business case.

Raise your hand and volunteer.” Kelton and Heller lead a breakout session on risk. “The biggest thing your people can do is just The Right Team for the Job Traditionally, Hughes pointed out, compliance right times the opportunity to lead a meeting, or follow up and say, ‘Can I help with this?’” “Give a little first,” said Heller. “It’s a crucial skill.” listen,” said Smollen. “Get people comfortable data analytics person.
