Details:

Compliance risk is growing, but with skills shortages and high operating costs, few companies are able to dedicate the resources to establish suitable compliance functions. Organizations should, therefore, consider looking to alternate compliance operation models by selectively outsourcing certain functions, according to a new report by Deloitte. This is particularly true in the life sciences and financial services industries, both of which have come under heavy regulation in recent years.

In the paper, Deloitte discusses its point of view, that as regulatory bodies continue to enforce an increasing number of compliance mandates, it is more essential than ever for organizations to have clear and effective compliance processes in place. Organizations recognize that non-compliance with regulatory requirements can result in a wide variety of costly legal consequences as well as damage to reputation and brand, but a lack of devoted resources is hampering compliance efforts.

Deloitte also explains the nature of compliance outsourcing, the business case, and how compliance outsourcing can be implemented to both mitigate compliance risk and reduce operating costs.

The principles behind providing "Compliance as a Service (CAAS)" are also detailed in the paper. Compliance outsourcing providers develop and maintain the necessary talent, knowledgebase, industry knowledge, process frameworks, scalable infrastructure, and global presence. They devote resources to monitoring and understanding regulatory demands. They amortize the costs of compliance across their client base. As a result, compliance needs can be addressed more cost-effectively and liberated resources moved to higher value activities.
