Benchmarking Study

During 2005, the Open Compliance & Ethics Group administered an extensive benchmarking study of governance, compliance and ethics programs. We will repeat this process each year. The study analyzed over 125 attributes of governance, compliance and ethics programs. These attributes include organizational structures, processes, program metrics, planning and budgeting information.

The benchmarking study was not a "flash survey" but rather an in-depth look at best practices. While there was no cost to access the survey and the results, each organization must invest adequate time into their response (approximately 4-15 FTE hours). Sufficient data was collected so that participants could see how they compare against a global sample, as well as peers based on number of employees, revenues and industry (2-page example)

NOTE: The benchmarking study is provided free of charge to "end user" organizations to help them improve their compliance and ethics programs. OCEG reserves the right to deny participation to any organization that may use the study and results for revenue producing business activities.
