CCO support
for hire
– From designing compliance programs to business leader
Many Norwegian companies now operate in a dynamic legal, regulatory, social, and economic environment that is often characterized by complex and sometimes conflicting rules and regulations. Regulatory expectations have risen globally, placing tremendous pressure on organizations, particularly those with international operations.
The role of the Chief Compliance Officer has become ever more important for Norwegian organisations. The role has evolved dramatically over the past years from designing compliance programs that help ensure compliance with all of the emerging regulations and guidelines – to becoming a key business leader.
CCOs have also gained strong recognition by their CEO which is necessary because the Compliance-function is a critical control-function for the CEO. A CCO remains independent in his or her assessments and advice.
A Chief Compliance Officer has business experiences, thinks strategically, communicates and persuades effectively. In addition, the CCO can influence organisational culture and behaviour to effectively strengthen the most important asset in a company – its reputation.
Our partners at Kvamme Associates have vast experience in practical implementation of applicable rules and regulations. This includes anti-corruption, anti-money-laundering and other economic crime, and sustainability more broadly such as human and labour rights, environment and climate (ESG). However, our competitive edge is our experience and excellence in cultural transformation and leadership.
How we can support you
We support top management in establishing a modern and effective Chief Compliance Officer role: roles and responsibilities, reporting lines, strategic objectives, integrity leadership programs, etc.
If you do not already have a CCO, we can support you in an interim phase where we will assist you in outlining a basic risk based compliance and culture building program. This will also help identify your exact needs for a potential CCO for the future.
We support CCOs in strengthening their role and reaching their objectives: ongoing tasks (risk assessment, third party due diligence, training and control activities etc), designing the right strategy to reach your objectives short and long term, and how to increase your leverage at all levels including top management and the board of directors.
