Exploring essential elements of
a robust compliance framework
As I introduce the fourth issue of Compliance Insider® I’d like to thank
all of our subscribers for the positive feedback we have received since
launching this publication. I’m proud of what we have achieved in a
short space of time, and your comments and suggestions help us to
ensure we produce articles that provide you with insight and advice
relevant to your roles and challenges.
In this issue we continue to focus on providing solutions to common
challenges global companies face while developing their compliance
frameworks.
We shine a spotlight on three essential cogs in the compliance wheel:
risk assessments
remediation strategies
training programmes.
We take a tour around the world, exploring the compliance challenges
of conducting business in Russia, Iran and Myanmar, and diving into
the recent developments in Chinese bribery act enforcement.
Our popular Things To Think About™ series this time focuses on
developing and maintaining a policy lifecycle management system,
and we also take a close look at gift and entertainment policies in our
benchmarking study.
I hope you enjoy these articles, and the many others in this issue. I look
forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas for future topics.
