Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) are an effective framework for aligning compliance risk management efforts with organizational goals. By setting clear objectives and measurable key results, compliance teams can proactively manage risks, ensure regulatory adherence, and protect the organization from potential penalties or reputational damage. Below are examples of OKRs tailored for compliance risk management:

Key Result 1: Conduct a comprehensive compliance risk assessment for 100% of business units by the end of Q2.

Key Result 2: Update and distribute compliance policies and procedures to all employees, achieving a 95% acknowledgment rate within three months.

Key Result 3: Implement a centralized compliance management system with full operational functionality by the end of the year.

Objective 2: Enhance Employee Awareness and Training on Compliance

Key Result 2: Increase the completion rate of mandatory compliance certifications from 85% to 98% by year-end.
