This podcast features an in-depth conversation about the uses of data and data analytics in compliance programs. Data-Driven Compliance is back with another exciting episode. Today, I take a solo turn to explore how data-driven compliance has moved from cutting-edge compliance to part of a best practices compliance program to becoming table stakes to do business in a multi-national world. Data-Driven Compliance Programs are revolutionizing companies’ identification of potential compliance issues, mitigating risks, and maintaining integrity. The Department of Justice has given these programs, which use data analytics and AI, the go-ahead because of their capacity to improve business efficiency and stop improper payments. The bottom line is that these programs have transitioned from being cutting-edge to being considered best practices. Active data monitoring and analysis, inter-departmental collaboration, and formal risk assessments are cornerstones of a robust compliance program. This is because of the power of data analytics and AI in compliance monitoring and the need for compliance professionals to adapt continuously to the evolving landscape of data-driven compliance.

    Sherlock Holmes on Pattern Recognition in Data-Driven Compliance
    Feb 13 2024
    Are you struggling to keep up with the ever-changing compliance programs in your business? Look no further than the award-winning Data-Driven Compliance podcast, hosted by Tom Fox. This podcast features an in-depth conversation around the uses of data and data analytics in compliance programs. Data-Driven Compliance is back with another exciting episode. Today, I take a solo turn to talk about data analytics and pattern recognition for the compliance professional in the context of the Sherlock Holmes short story, The Adventures of the Dancing Men. For a deep dive into the story, check out the episode on my Sherlock Holmes pod, Adventures in Compliance. In this story, Holmes decodes stick figures to solve the mystery. One of the tools he uses is pattern recognition, which plays a pivotal role in data-driven compliance programs, serving as a tool to identify anomalies and potential compliance issues. It involves the systematic observation of data to identify recurring elements or trends, even in seemingly random data, and interpreting these patterns within the appropriate context to provide meaningful insights. The importance of this process for the compliance professional cannot be overstated. Pattern recognition requires both creativity and flexibility, and it can help predict future outcomes, optimize processes, and inform decision-making in compliance programs. I also discuss the significance of an iterative approach, which involves continuous improvement based on new information and collaboration with others to enhance analytic capabilities and gain deeper insights. Check out this most unique and interesting episode of the Data-Driven Compliance podcast, where Sherlock Holmes instructs the modern compliance professional on Data-Driven Compliance.  Resources: The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes Sherlock Holmes FAQ  Tom Fox  Connect with me on the following sites: Instagram Facebook YouTube Twitter LinkedIn

    Jan 23 2024
    Are you struggling to keep up with the ever-changing compliance programs in your business? Look no further than the award-winning Data Driven Compliance podcast, hosted by Tom Fox, is a podcast featuring an in-depth conversation around the uses of data and data analytics in compliance programs. Data Driven Compliance is back with another exciting episode. In this special second part of a two-part podcast, I co-host with Vince Walden, CEO of KonaAI, to visit with our guests Andrew McBride, Chief Risk Officer at Albemarle and Tapan Debnath, Head of Integrity, Regulatory Affairs & Data Privacy - Process Automation at ABB on their respective company’s journey to data-driven compliance.  Debnath's perspective on the challenges and strategies in compliance data analytics is centered on the need for clear goals, defined processes, and the importance of early planning and resource allocation. He sees compliance data analytics as a journey rather than a project, encouraging organizations to start with imperfect data and refine their processes over time. On the other hand, McBride's perspective is focused on prioritization, resource allocation, and audience-driven decision-making. He emphasizes the iterative nature of data analytics projects and believes that a successful ethics and compliance program does not necessarily require a large data analytics team, but rather the right roles and support from the IT function. Join Tom Fox and Vince Walden as they delve deeper into these insights with Tapan Debnath and Andrew McBride on this episode of the Data Driven Compliance.
