Innovation comes in many forms, and compliance professionals must be ready for and embrace it. Today, I visited with well-known compliance professional Jay Rosen to discuss how companies can improve their compliance programs through self-monitoring. Jay Rosen is a seasoned professional with a background in investment banking and a keen interest in ethics and compliance programs. Rosen’s in-depth analysis of FCPA enforcement actions over the past ten years shaped his perspective on ethics and compliance programs. He believes companies should consider their internal setup before hiring a third party for assistance. He suggests that while an outside perspective can sometimes lead to a deeper investigation, a mature ethics and compliance program with sufficient in-house resources can also be effective. Rosen emphasizes the importance of objectivity in these programs and proposes a compromise of working with a fractional monitor if the company lacks the necessary headcount. He sees the increasing use of data analytics and self-reporting as key factors in improving ethics and compliance efforts within organizations.
