Determining whether your corporate compliance program is “good enough”
Whether you face regulatory scrutiny, are in the middle of an investigation, or want to proactively get ahead of managing risks and evolving regulatory obligations, your company needs effective, risk-based safeguards in place.
At AlixPartners, we approach compliance and governance from a value-based perspective: ethical operations, tailored to your bespoke business model, that allow companies to grow sustainably.
At our core, we’re operational consultants that work at the intersection of big data sets and growing risk. We are driven by the necessity to reduce risk quickly. We design and operationalize risk and compliance programs, take on interim compliance officer roles, and serve as independent compliance consultants and monitors. We support companies by developing practical processes, supported by technology, to minimize risk. We also assess and help drive culture change to support ethical decision-making.
Our team is equipped with advanced analytics and digital technologies to help evaluate compliance programs, identify gaps, and implement programs and remediation plans, offering a holistic approach to organizational governance and procedures.
