1 Program Performance: Evaluations and Measurement [Session105] Tom Schumacher, University of Minnesota Ken Zeko, KPMG LLP Forensic John Stoxen, 3M Company Overview for Program Assessment Background The foundation and culture Commonly used metrics and tools Examples Questions and comments 1
2 Background: Why Do a Compliance Program Effectiveness Evaluation? Required under Federal Sentencing Compliance Program Guidelines Identifies gaps and weaknesses within and across your various programs Tells you the big picture How are your doing as an organization? Creates leadership support Results matter. Period. Guidelines Standard 8B2.1(b): (b) Due diligence and the promotion of an organizational culture that encourages a commitment to compliance with the law within the meaning of subsection (a) minimally require the following steps: (5) The organization shall take reasonable steps (B) to evaluate periodically the effectiveness of the organization s compliance and ethics program 2
3 Due Diligence Diligence: Vigilant activity; attentiveness Due Diligence: Such a measure of prudence, activity, or assiduity, as is properly to be expected from, and ordinarily exercised by, a reasonable and prudent man under the particular circumstances. What does due diligence mean for your organization? What is reasonable and prudent? Is there an industry standard? Is it the same degree of care used for other management priorities within a prudent organization? What are the hallmarks of due care for management priorities? Resources to do it right Metrics + Trending to measure progress Accountability for results (owned within operational management structure, not HR, Compliance, Counsel, Audits, etc.) Rewards/incentives Responsive action to improve points of weakness 3
4 Quick Quiz. How is your organization doing with compliance effectiveness evaluation? Completed Evaluation; In good shape 4
5 Completed Evaluation. Would rather not discuss results File 13ed the idea; in other words 5
6 Results of File 13 If you find that a person had a strong suspicion that things were not what they seemed or that someone had withheld some important facts, yet shut his eyes for fear of what he would learn, you may conclude that he acted knowingly, as I have used that word. Quiz #2 Write down the approximate number of employees in your organization Divide that number in half THAT IS THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE, ON AVERAGE, WHO HAVE WITNESSED SIGNIFICANT MISCONDUCT IN THE LAST YEAR AT YOUR ORGANIZATION Source: cross industry studies (two separate studies) 6
7 What to measure Your program itself Look to the Guidelines elements E.g. do you have training, is it working, do you have a Code, is it useful, is it followed, etc., do you have policies, are they accessible, do people follow them, etc. Just track the Guidelines. Outcomes: Is the dang thing working? How Compliance and Ethics Metrics Delivery Options Many options, may depend upon level of reliability sought Surveys (as part of a broader survey, as an independent survey, from a selected subset, etc.), interviews, consultants, peers, etc. Common Compliance and Ethics Metrics Observations of perceived misconduct Willingness to report misconduct/violations and violations in fact are reported when they are perceived to occur Perceptions about the organization s responsiveness to misconduct Fear of retaliation for reporting concerns Willingness to seek help within the organization for ethical issues Supervisors demonstrate/pay attention to ethics Leadership demonstrates/pays attention to ethics Open discussion of ethics in the workplace encouraged Ethical behavior rewarded at all levels Unethical behavior punished at all levels (management accountability) Perceptions of fair treatment in the workplace Employee willingness to deliver bad news to management Employee knowledge of workplace rules Employee commitment to the organization Confidence in preparedness to respond to ethical situations --May have many related/sub-questions organized in different compliance domains; may just ask a few questions in a broad employee survey. You have lots of options. 7

9 Survey Questions I have experienced or observed significant misconduct (violation of law, workplace rules, or significant University policy) in my unit/department within the last twelve months? Yes No If Yes, If the misconduct was not known by responsible University officials, did you or someone else report it to responsible University officials or the University s confidential reporting service? Yes, Yes, No, Don t I reported itothers reported it it was not reported know If Yes, Do you believe responsible University officials took appropriate corrective action? Strongly Disagree Disagree to Some Extent Uncertain Agree to Some Extent Strongly Agree I know where to report violations of law or policy (such as the University's confidential reporting line.)

INSTRUCTIONS FOR DIVISION COMPLIANCE CONTACTS 2007 BUSINESS CONDUCT SELF-ASSESSMENT Revised June M Confidential These Instructions are for use by division and Big B Compliance Contacts in completing the 2007 Business Conduct Self-Assessment ( Self-Assessment ). Introduction Compliance with law is only the beginning of 3M s business conduct program. We require compliance with the law, but we expect much more of ourselves. We have worked hard to build a culture where employees not only follow the letter of the law, but also the spirit of the law. The Self-Assessment process is intended to help 3M business leaders measure and improve upon the culture of legal compliance and ethical business conduct in their part of 3M s worldwide operations. At the direction of the 3M Business Conduct Committee, all 3M operating divisions complete this version of the Self-Assessment. The Self-Assessment is not intended to assess business or financial risk. It is not an audit or an investigation. Instead, the Self-Assessment is designed to help your division identify existing and emerging business conduct issues in its business activities and to think about how those issues can be dealt with most effectively, recognizing that risk can never be eliminated entirely. This type of periodic analysis is needed to ensure your organization has an effective compliance and ethics program. For more on the importance of an effective compliance program and why 3M uses the Self-Assessment, read the Background on the Self- Assessment Process document. A. Process for Completing the Self-Assessment To complete the Self-Assessment, you will need the following documents, all of which are available in the Compliance Contact TeamRoom in the Business Conduct Self-Assessment category, in the folder titled 2007 Self-Assessment Materials for Divisions : This document provides background information on 3M s Business Conduct Self-Assessment (Self-Assessment) process and on 3M s tradition of legal and ethical behavior. It can be shared with any 3M employee who will be involved in completing a Self-Assessment. 3M s Tradition of Legal and Ethical Compliance 3M has a long history of decentralized leadership in its worldwide operations. Senior management of business units, international subsidiaries and staff groups have been given the freedom and the responsibility to design and implement programs needed to succeed in their particular operations. This freedom has been a key driver of 3M s success. This responsibility has always included creation of an environment in which all employees act in accordance with 3M s values of uncompromising honesty and integrity. 3M Over the years, 3M has learned that some aspects of an effective compliance and ethics program can most efficiently handled on a global basis. 3M first published business conduct policies in 1988, to provide direction on the universal compliance and ethics principles that guide 3M s global operations. The Business Conduct Committee was created in 1991 and was given responsibility for putting together a program to carry out the global aspects of 3M s business conduct program, including: COMPLIANCE CONTACT TIPS Creating business conduct policies 2007 BUSINESS CONDUCT SELF-ASSESSMENT Communicating policies and expectations to 3M s global workforce Providing training to help employees apply business conduct policies Revised to June 2007 their jobs 3M Confidential Ensuring employees have a confidential and trusted means by which they can report suspected business conduct violations These suggestions should help Division and Big B Compliance Contacts efficiently complete the Business Fully and fairly investigating all reports of suspected violations Conduct Self Assessment ("Self-Assessment"). Each organization in the company is unique, so use your judgment as to whether these ideas will work in your business unit. Those of you who were Compliance Contacts in 2005 should notice a number of changes throughout the Self- Assessment that have been made to make the process more focused and streamlined. Divisions which have already completed the 2007 Self-Assessment have noticed a substantial reduction in the time required, compared with If questions come up while you complete your Self-Assessment, please call or the Central Compliance Department resources listed in the Background document. Tips for Division Compliance Contacts 1. Read the materials. Start by reading the Background, Instructions and Report documents in the Compliance Contact TeamRoom in the 2007 Division Self-Assessment Materials folder. You cannot map out an efficient strategy for completing the Self-Assessment until you visualize the whole process. 2. Seek assistance early. As you read the Instructions and Report, note who in your organization has the information you need to complete various sections. By asking for assistance on these sections early, you can give people weeks, rather than days, to respond. 3. Keep your Operating Committee informed. Only Division Vice Presidents/General Managers and Compliance Contacts received the kickoff notice from the Central Compliance Department about the upcoming Self-Assessment. It is your responsibility to inform the other Operating Committee members about the Self-Assessment process. You may forward the original kickoff to them if you Compliance Contact Tips for 2007 Business Conduct Self-Assessment 11

21 Root Causes of Misconduct Feel pressure to do whatever it takes to meet business targets Lack understanding of the standards that apply to their jobs Believe that their code of conduct is not taken seriously Lack resources to get the job done without cutting corners Believe they will be rewarded for results, not the means used to achieve them Believe policies or procedures are easy to bypass or override Fear losing their job if they do not meet targets otherwise Are seeking to bend the rules or steal for their own personal gain Propensity to Report Misconduct Notify supervisor or another manager 81 Try resolving the matter directly 53 Call the ethics or compliance hotline 38 Notify someone outside the organization 10 Look the other way or do nothing
