Corporate Risk and Insurance. Excerpt: "The most common pitfall in compliance programs is an overreliance on policies, procedures and systems, according to Ulysses Chioatto, director of SSAMM Management Consulting. A cursory glance over all the convictions and enforceable undertakings by ASIC in the past five years highlights this overreliance on policies, procedures and systems by financial services providers in their compliance programs, said Chioatto, with little to no work on people – or to put it another way, the company’s culture.  Both internal and external auditors as well as compliance and risk officers pore over documents, flowcharts, plans and reports from computer risk and compliance applications, yet breach registers are overflowing, or worse still, completely empty.
