job description for compliance officer / risk manager?
Posted: Thu Mar 18, 2010 12:11 pm
Does anyone have any sample or suggested wording for a job description for a Corporate Compliance Officer for a multi-location health clinic? They're well over 100 employees, but not large enough to have a dedicated Chief Risk Officer, so they're looking to include responsibilities of Risk Management in this position, but it's primarily a position that centers around researching compliance obligations (i.e. HIPPA, ethics, etc...), establishing policies to ensure compliance, ongoing audits to test for compliance, and reporting to the CEO & board on findings and recommendations. I'd like to see this position involved on their planning committees and made an integral part of contract review, as well as other committees that oversee growth, development and management. The position is being created by the HR Director, so it has a compliancy-feel to it by default, but she's asking for assistance on how to round it out per above.
This position is not for me as insurance broker, but I'm very interested in seeing it put together correctly. Currently there are multiple department heads that have to be consulted with in order to get the big picture. This organization has and continues to grow so that they really need one person who's job is to know what's going on organization-wide, understand the risks, and be pro-active in avoiding, controlling or transferring them. How do they craft the best position, and where to they look to fill it?
I appreciate all comments. I love helping clients w/risk management, but I know many posters here have a lot of experience there, so I'm looking forward to your ideas. Thanks in advance!
