Not long ago, getting ISO certified was important for large process units in Financial Services. It gave the organization the comfort that setting-up quality management standards helped people work more efficiently and reduce product or process failures. In a nutshell, all processes were supposed to be compliant.
However, in reality, there were several failures despite an Organization being ISO certified. Despite the highest standard defined, if a process is not embedded with well-defined control mechanisms that facilitate escalations, using technology at its core, it is designed to fail. More so in today's fast-moving, and voluminous world of transactions, governance mechanisms act like brakes that help organizations negotiate their routes safely.
Compliance has to be embedded and a well-embedded Compliance system starts with well-defined processes. One of the most vulnerable areas, even today, is the lack of a proper governance mechanism - to track the processes and highlight weaknesses and issues. Failures in processes continue to happen despite what has been documented as standards and processes.
When processes don't work as they should, it often means that standards are absent. However more often the case would be that these standards are not being tracked in a formal manner resulting in breakages or failures.
So how can organizations drive safely and yet ensure that business does not suffer owing to overt compliances?
Ensure that proper governance mechanisms are in place. One such product that has been developed to ensure that Governance mechanisms work well and all compliances are tracked formally, is Compliance Sutra.
