1 A proactive approach for Governance, Risk, Compliance () ETHICALLY ACHIEVING OUTCOMES IN THE PRESENCE OF UNCERTAINTY Raimund Laqua, PMP, P.Eng. Founder, Chief Compliance Engineer Big Idea: A proactive approach for Governance, Risk, Compliance () ETHICALLY ACHIEVING OUTCOMES IN THE PRESENCE OF UNCERTAINTY Companies are not able to keep up with the increase in: regulatory dem, uncertainty, or stakeholder obligations. offers a way to address these concerns. However, up until now has been based on reactive strategies using old models for risk, control, audit. These approaches have proven to be ineffective, unsustainable, incapable of scaling. Therefore, new strategies are needed. These should be based on proactive models that focus on: outcomes rather than adherence, integrated rather than separate structures systems, effectiveness rather than control. 1

2 OUTLINE What we are going to cover in this presentation 1. An overview of the compliance lscape 2. What is? 3. What s wrong with? 4. How can be improved? LANDSCAPE Lack of effectiveness rising costs Lack of effectiveness 70% of companies do not measure the effectiveness of their compliance programs Incomplete invalid metrics Mistaking legal accountability for compliance effectiveness Self reporting self selection bias The cost of compliance is too high increasing Compliance alone is estimated to be between 8% 10% of a FTE (time salary) Compliance can be 2 to 3 times that in highly regulated, high risk sectors (ex. oil&gas, energy, etc.) is going to more 2

3 LANDSCAPE Attitude towards compliance Proactive anticipate, plan, act to be more certain Necessary Good Manage both threats opportunities How do you view compliance? Goal is to meet obligations Reactive surprised, always behind, uncertain Necessary Evil Only concerned about non conformance Goal is to pass an audit LANDSCAPE Compliance is only looking at have the problem Accept Stakeholder Responsibilities to Stards OPERATIONS Quality Health & Safety Environmental Engineering REACTIVE APPROACH Checklists Inspections Audits Corrective Actions Inducements Training Culture ETHICS & Legal Regulatory Code of Conduct Accept Public Responsibilities to Requirements 3

What must I do? How can I improve? How can I ensure objectives? Findings / Lagging Actions Ownership / Leading Actions 4

6 HOW IS CURRENTLY DEFINED? Definitions Individual Roles Governance: the process by which policy is set decision making is executed. Risk Management: the process for preventing loss Compliance: the process of adherence to policies decisions Combined Roles is the integrated collection of capabilities that enable an organization to reliably achieve objectives, address uncertainty act with integrity [OCEG] is neither a project nor a technology, but a corporate objective for improving governance through more effective compliance a better understing of the impact of risk on business performance [Gartner] WHAT PROBLEM IS TRYING TO SOLVE?

Keeping the company on track aligning the ends with the means ENDS MEANS EXTRINSIC VISION Makes Operative MISSION EMERGING GOAL Drives Towards INTRINSIC Formulated STRATEGY to Achieve OBJECTIVE TACTIC HOW DOES ATTEMPT TO SOLVE IT? Minding the gap between the board the CEO ENDS (1.0) are individual functions to prevent loss avoid prosecution. It does this primarily by conducting audits establishing controls based on risk assessments.

11 WHAT S WRONG WITH WHY? Regulatory steers, audit enforces, risk management tries to mitigate MEANS AUDIT FUNCTION Avoid Prosecution Regulatory Prevent Loss Risk Management Assure Audit CEO COMPANY Structures Culture Audit/Fix Cycle PRE AUDIT INTERNAL AUDIT EXTERNAL AUDIT CORRECTIVE ACTIONS FINDINGS WHAT S WRONG WITH WHY? The audit fix cycle is a reactive process that reinforces reactive behaviors REACTIVE No Objectives & Goals Lagging indicators Uncertain Surprised Focused on Symptoms Forced Timeline Always Behind Focused on Output Sunk Cost Reactive Compliance Cost of Non Compliance Outcomes Zone Benefit of Outcomes Proactive Compliance Clear Objectives & Goals Leading indicators Certain Anticipating Focused on Root Cause Plan Timeline Always Ahead Advancing Outcomes Return on Investment Non 11

17 MODEL Proactive definitions ( 3.0) Ethically achieving outcomes in the presence of uncertainty: Governance (to steer): a process to regulate systems towards achieving business outcomes. Risk Based Thinking: a mindset to proactively improve the certainty of achieving outcomes utilizing methods that consider threats opportunities. Compliance: Keeping promises by continuously meeting stakeholder obligations advancing compliance outcomes.
