Compliance Effectiveness Scoring System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing compliance programs lack a comprehensive means to accurately measure and evaluate their effectiveness, leading to inadequate adjustments and potential non-compliance issues.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that collect both subjective and objective data to calculate a compliance effectiveness score, incorporating surveys on commitment, accountability, policies, regulatory oversight, monitoring, training, and metrics such as compliance project performance and regulatory issues, to assess the program's effectiveness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If traditional compliance programs are implemented, then policies and procedures are established, but the effectiveness of these programs cannot be accurately measured and evaluated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the compliance program evaluation into multiple distinct components: subjective data collection through surveys, objective data collection through metrics, and combination analysis. This segmentation allows for precise measurement of different aspects (employee perceptions, actual compliance behaviors, program elements) while maintaining manageable complexity through structured data collection and analysis processes.
2Measurement precision
If comprehensive data collection is performed to evaluate compliance effectiveness, then measurement accuracy improves, but data collection complexity and time requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by establishing surveys and data collection mechanisms in advance. The compliance program includes pre-designed survey instruments and predetermined metrics that are ready for deployment, allowing for efficient data collection when evaluation is needed rather than creating these tools from scratch during the evaluation process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent ensures continuous data collection through ongoing surveys and persistent monitoring of compliance metrics. Rather than conducting one-time evaluations, the system continuously gathers subjective and objective data, maintaining an ongoing record of compliance effectiveness that reduces the time needed for comprehensive evaluation when assessments are performed.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple compliance metrics and survey elements are implemented, then evaluation comprehensiveness improves, but program complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by creating a multi-functional evaluation system that simultaneously collects and analyzes multiple types of data (survey responses, compliance metrics, program element assessments) through a unified framework. This universal approach allows the same system structure to handle diverse evaluation needs across different compliance programs and organizations, increasing versatility without proportionally increasing complexity.

AI summary
A method and system for determining effectiveness of a compliance program may include collecting subjective data related to effectiveness of the compliance program and means therefore. The method and system may also include collecting objective data related to effectiveness of the compliance program and means therefore. The method and system may further include calculating compliance effectiveness scores in response to a combination of the subjective data and objective data and means therefore.
