GLS Compliance Function Efficiency Audit™ (DIY)

Assess and improve your compliance function

The Problem

Your business needs to improve its compliance function.

Related challenges include:

  • to improve you must undertake a “current status” assessment
  • legal department “how to guides” are not commonly available
  • objectively assessing your own performance is not easy
  • you are not sure of what performance audit criteria to use
  • you are not clear how your compliance function benchmarks against peer businesses
  • finding time to conduct an audit comes on top of existing workloads
  • you know good diagnostic tools provide actionable insights
  • your team wants to do more strategic work but just cannot find the time

Wouldn’t it be great if you could access a comprehensive diagnostic tool that allows you to generate actionable insights for your team? 

The GLS Solution

GLS Compliance Function Efficiency Audit™ (DIY) is an online, easy to implement, intuitive to use, performance diagnostic tool to help you assess the performance of your compliance function.

GLS Compliance Function Efficiency Audit™ (DIY) will help you rapidly assess the current performance levels and capabilities of your business’s compliance infrastructure/function in an objective and transparent manner.

Comprising more than 150 diagnostic questions, this tool helps you assess the performance criteria that have the biggest impacts on your team’s productivity. 

This tool also will also assess your team’s resource allocations (policies, templates, processes & procedures, technology, etc), to enable realistic and potent optimisation solution pathways to emerge. 

The performance criteria against which our module is prepared is that of a “performance optimised” legal support function. The tool will provide you with:

  • a powerful reference model of what your fully optimised function would look like;
  • a detailed view of the critical resources that enable and drive optimised performance;
  • an assessment of the presence and/or current performance of your resources; and
  • clearly identified and logical intervention/optimisation scenarios to drive function productivity.

This tool will significantly enhance your ability to prepare and implement a transformation plan for your legal team that: 

  • is self-authored and specific to your business;
  • efficiently targets maximum productivity intervention scenarios; and
  • is easy, cheap and quick to implement.

Few lawyers like to be critiqued but as so much more is required of modern-day legal teams, it is essential that legal team leaders can obtain objective data and honestly assess performance. 

Problem solved.
