Washington, DC (PRWEB) April 27, 2017 -- For organizations looking to measure and improve anti-corruption programs, CREATe.org today launches a new whitepaper: Anti-Corruption Compliance: Using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to Mature and Manage Programs.
Key performance indicators (KPIs) and other metrics are often used to measure business performance against concrete, quantifiable targets to help ensure that objectives are being met. In this whitepaper, CREATe.org adapts the KPI approach – typically used for finance or sales – to anti-corruption programs, enabling organizations to determine whether programs are being implemented effectively.
The whitepaper offers insights into:
• How to develop KPIs: useful categories to use when developing metrics and KPIs.
• Ways to evolve KPIs with program maturity: using a five-point scale to identify the current maturity of a company’s anti-corruption compliance program, and identifying concrete steps to improve programs.
• Examples of relevant KPIs and metrics across a number of business process categories: a deep dive into mapping KPIs to ‘policies and procedures,’ ‘risk assessment,’ ‘training and capability building,’ and ‘corrective actions and improvements.’
• Ensuring that KPIs and metrics do not incentivize unwanted behavior.
“Increasingly, boards and senior management want compliance teams to monitor and measure anti-corruption programs to ensure effectiveness,” stated Leslie Benton, Vice President, CREATe.org and a drafter of the ISO 37001 Anti-Bribery Management Systems Standard. “Developing relevant KPIs and supporting metrics not only helps to track progress, but is also critical to creating an environment of expectations that support a company’s strategic compliance objectives.”
