Compliance Departments and Senior Management are flooded with a tremendous amount of information in the compliance area on a daily basis. How can you keep up and quickly determine what is critical to the institution verses what is simply interesting? It may be easy for an institution to implement a compliance program which addresses new regulatory concerns and lowers the risk to the institution: provided, however, that your staff is fully knowledgeable and possess the skills necessary to properly identify and research new regulations and then plan, implement and monitor critical programs. If a compliance program is not properly designed, implemented and regularly evaluated to ensure compliance, it can increase your regulatory and reputational risk, as well as potentially ruin current and ongoing client relationships. And let's not forget to mention, subject the institution to potential fines and penalties from regulatory authorities.

A compliance program must be comprehensive, efficient and above all cost-effective. Staff must be fully trained regarding all facets of your program. Institutions must ask themselves several key questions...Have we analyzed and do we understand our risks and vulnerabilities?…Have we created the infrastructure and systems required to meet our risk?…Are our current policies, procedures and monitoring processes efficient and effective?...As new requirements are issued, do we have a well-analyzed plan for implementation of these requirements?…How are we going to process and update documentation?…Can our systems quickly produce information that may be requested of us by regulatory agencies?…Does our staff have the proper training to understand the complex compliance rules and regulations, and skills needed to develop and maintain a comprehensive compliance program?
