Comprehensive Compliance and Ethics Program Assessment: CCEPA Methodology
Our Comprehensive Program Assessment utilizes Spark’s proprietary CCEPA Methodology to test the program using multiple inputs in order to obtain a 360° view from inside the department and out. CCEPA Methodology uses seven specific inputs to evaluate the program. We take a comprehensive view of the compliance and ethics program in order to properly assess the efficacy of the program. We look at documents and intentions, as well as execution in order to ensure that the program is operating as effectively as possible.
A Spark Compliance Consulting CCEPA-based report provides more than just an overview of the compliance program against the seven elements of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. It takes the information provided by the inputs and evaluates it to provide effective commendations, opportunities for improvement and recommendations in 18 specific areas. These include:
Specialized, Pragmatic, Pro-Business Recommendations
Our carefully crafted list of recommendations to make the compliance program even stronger in the future. We ground our recommendations in practices which can be implemented in a pro-business and pragmatic way, so that compliance can partner with the business, instead of working against it.
