Compliance Communication Plan

A Compliance Communication Plan is a document that outlines the strategy for effectively disseminating compliance-related information throughout an organization. Key features include:

1. Key compliance messages and themes

2. Target audiences for different communications

3. Communication channels and methods (e.g., emails, intranet, meetings)

4. Frequency and timing of communications

5. Roles and responsibilities for creating and delivering communications

This plan serves as a guide for ensuring consistent and effective communication of compliance information across the organization. It helps maintain awareness of compliance issues and reinforces the importance of ethical behavior. The document typically includes a calendar of planned communications, such as regular compliance newsletters, policy updates, and awareness campaigns. It may also outline strategies for tailoring messages to different employee levels or departments. The plan often includes provisions for measuring the effectiveness of communications through metrics like readership rates or employee surveys. It usually addresses both routine compliance communications and strategies for crisis communication in the event of significant compliance incidents. The communication plan is typically developed by the compliance team in collaboration with internal communications or marketing departments to ensure alignment with overall organizational messaging.
