Ask yourself some simple questions:

• Did I send out an e-mail without checking the thread this month, this week, today?
• Am I doing everything I possibly can as regularly as I can to raise awareness of risk across the firm?
• Can my firm really afford to say no to the Online Compliance Training Suite?
• Could the Compliance Suite offer me a solution that provides all my staff with an immediate resource for enhancing risk awareness?
• Could the Compliance Suite offer me a safety net that provides my fee-earners with an immediate choice of CPD accredited online courses?
• Could I use the Compliance Training Suite to illustrate good risk management procedures to my Regulator to my clients and my insurers?
• Considering what we spend on insurance should I not invest a nominal sum in raising the level of risk awareness across our firm?
• Can I have too many tools that help us adhere to our professional code of conduct, comply with our core duties and identify and manage key risks?

Regulation demands that you have the risk management processes in place. to effectively manage risk.. The days of tick-box compliance are dead. Professional firms are now obligated to demonstrate that they have considered the risks and put in place effective controls to manage those risks.  However, irrespective of the sophistication of your risk processes and software, any member of your staff has the ability to significant damage or at very least embarrass your firm, usually through a lapse or lack of awareness of the risks involved in a particular action, non-action or conversation. The only true guardians and custodians of your firm’s reputation, profitability and well being are your partners, associates and support staff.

30 years of outstanding service can be destroyed by one stupid error. One email gets sent to the wrong person; an angry email goes public; full ID verification is not completed on the true beneficial owners; a partner side steps the conflict process; a letter or engagement is not obtained; the scope of a matter extends beyond the engagement terms resulting in fees not being recoverable; you miss a deadline; you pay hotel or other expenses on behalf of a client in breach professional accounts rules; data about your staff or others is released, shared or lost in breach of the Data Protection Act; clients are entertained inappropriately in the circumstances, or an agent pays a small facilitation fee and you commit an offence under the Bribery Act.
