OIG Guidance for Boards Regarding Compliance

Tom Fox advises that the Office of Inspector General white paper Practical Guidance for Health Care Governing Boards on Compliance Oversight “provides an excellent road map for thinking about how to structure a Compliance Committee for your board and a board’s obligations.” For example, it states: The existence of a corporate reporting system is a key compliance program element, which not only keeps the Board informed of the activities of the organization, but also enables an organization to evaluate and respond to issues of potentially illegal or otherwise inappropriate activity.
