8 Compliance Program Essentials Ø Compliance programs are developed/implemented by organizations to: o Control risk of violations of law and policy, o Promote ethical conduct,and o Maintain/enhance corporate reputation Ø While there are many legal, regulatory, organizational and societal forces impacting development of compliance programs, there s no One Size Fits All Ø There are a variety of ways to implement, monitor and audit each program based on: o Size, resources, industry, commitment and level of engagement of each unique organization
9 What s the new normal? Ø Companies are establishing dedicated compliance functions to manage the compliance program Ø Board members/audit committees are becoming much more actively involved in scrutinizing compliance programs and focusing on key compliance risks Ø Baseline screening of third parties along with enhanced due diligence Ø Active engagement between the compliance function and the business units
10 Compliance Program Structure 1 ¹ Based on guidance found in the US Federal Sentencing Guidelines, UK Bribery Act Guidance, and OECD documents
11 Organizational Oversight Tone at the Top Need visible support from the highest level Equally important is the tone at the middle Reporting Structure Designation of Chief Compliance Officer Reporting to Chief Executive Officer and Audit Committee Mgmt.

13 Code, Policies & Procedures Ø Understanding the maze of compliance requirements can be challenging Ø Cover key risk areas and make them relevant to the business
14 Training & Communication Ø Provide training to help employees understand policies and procedures Ø Use other awareness tools as needed (e.g., posters, blasts, newsletters, etc.) Ø Consider training third parties

16 What keeps us up at night? Compliance risks are exponentially more complex today Ø Regulatory landscape Ø Global reach and growth in emerging markets Ø Stakeholder demand for evidence of compliance program effectiveness Ø Third party liability Ø Media and public scrutiny
17 Reporting, Discipline & Incentives Ø Offer various ways to report wrongdoing o o Supervisor, HR, Audit, Legal, Hotline Example: RCL s AWARE Hotline - One system run by a third party - Triaged by Compliance - Allegations investigated - Investigative findings reported to senior management and the Audit Committee Ø Recognize employees who do things the right way Ø Impose discipline when violations are identified
18 Auditing & Monitoring Ø Compliance provides tools for the business, but we must check the business as well o Trust but verify Ø Compliance monitoring examples: o Training completion rates o Risk assessment results o Trends in hotline and other complaints Ø Audits can be compliance-specific Ø Compliance elements can also be inserted into more general audit plans
