System Design

Compliance Management provides management consulting services to review existing programs, identify critical needs, develop new systems designs and implement change.

We have found that successful programs include:

• Accountability - you don't have accountability until you can point your finger at the individual responsible for a specific task;
• Measurement - you must have measures of performance carefully designed to achieve desired outcomes, that are reviewed periodically by management for corrective action
• Structure - you need a management information system that captures requirements, responsibilities, and data on performance
• Motivation - unless bonuses and performance reviews are part of the structure, no one will pay serious attention
• Enforcement - unless someone occasionally audits performance the data will be suspect.
