Collaboration and functional integration
Risk and compliance should be integrated into an enterprise-wide risk management process. This helps ensure that any issues faced by the organization relating to risk & compliance are not considered in isolation.

Enhance corporate governance
Compliance management are closely linked to corporate governance. Effective corporate governance sets the tone for understanding risks and risk management capabilities and aligns the risk appetite with the organization’s opportunity-seeking behavior. Furthermore, elevating risk management to a strategic level strengthens board oversight, clarifies risk management roles and responsibilities, sets risk management authorities and boundaries, and ensures effective communication of risk responses in support of key business objectives.
Training initiatives
Not just the employees, even managers in some of the top companies around the globe still are completely unprepared to address risk and compliance-related issues. Considering the fact that compliance is one of the greatest risks your organization faces, appropriate training should be at the top of any company’s risk management plan. Moreover, having well-defined processes as well as documented policies, procedure and guidelines help ensure better risk management throughout an organization.
