Compliance risk assessments for the little guy

As a matter of both law and common managerial sense, risk assessment is the foundation for an effective C&E program.  But for many reasons risk assessment can also be the most daunting aspect of developing, implementing and improving programs – and especially so for many small and mid-sized companies.

With this in mind, in my latest column in Corporate Compliance Insights, I outline a (relatively) easy-to-deploy 8-step risk assessment process for companies that don’t have the resources to conduct more elaborate fact gathering and analytic efforts about their C&E risks.

As the saying goes, don’t try this in your own home – but consider trying it out in your company.
