In modern businesses, particularly in heavily regulated industries, compliance management is a necessary process. Unfortunately, due to multiple stakeholders, diverse regulations, and huge volumes of data, ensuring a business meets its obligations can be challenging. Compliance teams are expected to fulfill their responsibilities accurately and efficiently, as non-compliance can result in harsh financial penalties and reputational damage to the company.
The problem of compliance without a centralized system
Without a centralized system, compliance is difficult to manage as there is no standardization of processes, data, or communication. Confusion, errors, and inconsistencies are likely, making it difficult to monitor compliance progress, identify risks, and report on compliance activities. During audits, compliance teams must be able to demonstrate that they have meaningful insight into business operations, however, managing compliance effectively without a centralized system can consume time, resources, and money, further exacerbating the challenges for business leaders.
How can Claromentis support compliance management?
While Claromentis is not a compliance management tool, its ability to automate manual tasks, optimize workflows, and improve workflow visibility will have a significant impact on the quality of your organization’s compliance.
By automating workflows, businesses can benefit from streamlined compliance, the advantages of which extend across the entire organization. By simplifying everyday processes, workflow management software has the capability to improve many aspects of compliance, no matter how complex the workflow may be.
Improve accuracy
Achieving compliance hinges on many manual tasks being executed precisely, but the demand for fast results leaves little room for errors. Implementing automated solutions simplifies and shortens manual processes, thereby reducing the likelihood of data being incorrectly entered, overlooked, or lost. A workflow management system that features reporting capabilities and collaboration enables you to monitor the entire workflow in real time through charts, visual aids, notifications, and compliance tracking.
Update outmoded paper-based processes
As businesses expand and become more profitable, workflows can become more complicated. Where paper-based processes are used, it’s more likely that compliance targets may be missed owing to the time taken to generate and complete forms and the reliance on humans not to make mistakes. E-forms and workflow management software enable the creation of customized forms that internal and external stakeholders can access with appropriate permissions. All forms are completed and stored centrally, making it easier to monitor them and correct any irregularities.
Enhance transparency
Transparency is vital for effective compliance, as it ensures businesses can demonstrate that they adhere to regulations, are committed to ethical practices, and increase accountability at all levels within the organization. An e-forms and workflow portal improves compliance through a centralized dashboard that provides a clear overview of outstanding and completed tasks and flags new risks or issues that require attention.
