Today, I visited with well-known compliance professional Jay Rosen to discuss how companies can improve their compliance programs through self-monitoring.Jay Rosen is a seasoned professional with a background in investment banking and a keen interest in ethics and compliance programs.

Rosen emphasizes the importance of objectivity in these programs and proposes a compromise of working with a fractional monitor if the company lacks the necessary headcount. He sees the increasing use of data analytics and self-reporting as key factors in improving ethics and compliance efforts within organizations.Resources:Jay Rosen on LinkedIn | TwitterTom FoxInstagramFacebookYouTubeTwitterLinkedIn
