Sustainable Compliance Manuals

An organization's compliance manual is the set of written policies and procedures documenting the internal controls the organization has implemented. Creating and enforcing a sustainable compliance manual is crucial for nearly all organizations.

Why do your clients need a compliance manual? What should the manual address? What makes it sustainable? In this program, CEO of Sustainable Compliance Strategies, Ellen McCarthy, answers these key questions for attorneys representing business clients. She will cover in detail the risk assessment done when compiling a clients' compliance manual, the compliance matrix - or list of rules and regulations that govern the business and needs to be addressed in the manual, and the pitfalls to making a compliance manual truly sustainable. The principals discussed apply to all types of organizations, including law firms.
