Client issue
A telecommunications (TMT) conglomerate sought to assess and mature its compliance program to align with global regulatory expectations.
CRA approach
Andrew Bayer, Principal in CRA’s Forensic Services Practice, led a maturity assessment of the client’s global compliance program across several risk domains, including sanctions, corruption, anti-money laundering (AML), fraud, and antitrust. Andrew benchmarked and evaluated the program’s effectiveness against five industry peers. The resulting roadmap addressed DOJ and SEC leading practices and enforcement expectations from the DOJ guidance, UK Bribery Act, and ISO 37001.
Andrew presented a fact-based roadmap with recommended enhancements and the associated investment levels required to strengthen the program’s maturity and resilience in high-risk markets.
Client impact
Equipped the Board and executive leadership with clear visibility into compliance gaps and a detailed action plan for remediation and investment to elevate the global compliance framework and mitigate exposure scrutiny.
