U.S. Federal Sentencing GuiDelines
The U.S. Federal Sentencing Guidelines provide the additional element of a periodic risk assessment. This element is also related to quality improvement.
Visual Format
A hybrid design process can be used to create risk assessments that detail the impact or consequences of risks faced by an entity and may incorporate elements of design for ease of use. For greater simplicity and focus, the top risks can be identified in a visual format, which would then form the basis for risk mitigation, including auditing, monitoring, and corrective action plans related to quality improvement. Controls may also be designed within algorithms, to prevent noncompliance from occurring.
Customization
Entities may customize and add further elements to their compliance programs based on their industry, culture, and mission beyond the OIG Guidance and the additional risk assessment element from the US Federal Sentencing Guidelines.
