Compliance culture
· Do employees know who the compliance officer is and how to contact him or her?
Code of conduct and policies and procedures
· Do employees know about the code of conduct?
· Do employees know where they can find policies and procedures
· Do employees know they may use the policies and procedures for guidance?
Training programs
· Are problems you addressed in training still occurring repeatedly?
· Has post-testing indicated that your employees understand compliance?
