The software helps train both executives and employees on Regulatory Compliance Management.

Moreover, key personnel must be trained for Regulatory Compliance Management . They must have awareness about best practices that are being ignored and that are required. The training must be in conformity with regulations implemented by the state or federal government. For international companies, awareness about the host country’s regulations regarding Regulatory Compliance Management must be taken into account.

Challenges

Organizations today are required to comply with an increasing number of international, national and industry-specific regulations. The regulatory compliance process is continuous, and needs to be closely monitored. As management is personally liable for maintaining regulatory compliance, this responsibility requires significant management attention and allocation of time and effort.

Compliance experts/workers across industries face several challenges. On one hand is a regulatory landscape that is constantly changing. On the other are rising expectations from regulators to demonstrate a culture of trust and integrity. Added to that are stakeholder pressures to reduce the costs of compliance while improving operational efficiencies.

In dealing with these challenges, traditional approaches to compliance management—which are typically ad hoc and manual—are no longer effective nor efficient. They require compliance teams to spend most of their time sifting through volumes of compliance assessment documents, records, and emails in the quest to generate meaningful insights. Traditional manual approaches also make it challenging to consolidate compliance information from across business units and geographies, and to compare trends across different assessment periods.

As compliance initiatives become more intertwined, organizations are increasingly adopting an integrated and streamlined approach to compliance – one that can help them minimize redundancies and costs, while also strengthening visibility into their overall compliance and risk profile. To support and enable these efforts, many compliance experts/workers are deploying specialized compliance solutions.
