Push-to-Profile: Relevance Increases Comprehension & Compliance - CFM's patent pending Push-to-Profile functionality makes it possible to configure information dissemination and training to the roles and responsibilities of each user, making information easy to find, more relevant and facilitating both comprehension and compliance behavior. Access Compliance delivers high-quality, interactive, policy education courses, enhanced by case studies and scenarios in exceptionally easy-to-read terms and well-organized formats.

Taking relevance one step further, CFM Partners' content experts also make sure that information is presented in "plain English" to facilitate review and understanding.

Tracking and Control - Leveraging CFM's exclusive Tracking and Control features, Access Compliance provides senior management with automatic, real-time tracking reports detailing who, how many, how much and when employees receiving, reviewing and demonstrating comprehension of company policies and procedures. Tracking, control and testing can also be useful during the development of company policies to ensure the authoring, review and sign-off process progresses efficiently and that policies are tested against regulations and procedures are tested against policies.

Benefits
As part of CFM's Tracking and Control, Access Compliance produces important reporting and documentation. This fulfills an important requirement of outside regulators by generating an "audit trail" of the employee dissemination, review and comprehension. Access Compliance ensures that each employee receives the information that is relevant to their role and responsibilities. This takes the guesswork out of policy and procedure dissemination. Access Compliance reports can also be configured to detail how policies and procedures tie to regulatory requirements.

Despite its many unique features and capabilities, Access Compliance is the most cost-effective approach to achieving high quality policy and procedure management. Savings are quickly realized as a result of these benefits:
