Small Business Compliance

Share how you are strengthening your compliance program to prepare and protect your organization as it expands into new operations, regulations and risks.

David Vance
Policy and SOP Management
Starting a business conduct/compliance program for the third time at a small company, it also lacks a formal Policy on Policies to help develop and distinguish policies, SOPs, working papers, etc., to help support rationale and efficient overall "Policy Management." I have found some University "Policy on Policies," but wonder if anyone else can recommend a good model? Thanks in advance.

Hi David, I can't speak specifically on what will work in your organization, but there are automated tools to help! Document creation, editing, version control, distribution, and archiving are daunting, and the longer you go without process, the worse this becomes! There is risk, based upon your industry, in outdated documents living in your share-drive or your employees computers. Drop me a PM if I can be of additional assistance, Andrea

Andrea, What I am looking for, and seem to find on line primarily for universities, is essentially Policy #1 - what is the structure for an entity of high level policy statements versus lower level, more detailed implementation SOPs, working instructions, etc. If you know of any good model Policy on Policies, that would be very helpful. Best wishes, Dave

Hi David... did you check in the Tools and Resources section on this site? Within that tab there is a section on Policies and procedures that might have what you need. I've not checked closely, but its worth a try... Andrea
