Compliance Program Staffing: What Works, What Doesn’t and How to Get the Work Done

June 12, 2025

Building and maintaining an effective compliance program requires more than just understanding regulations—it demands the right team, structure, and strategies to get the job done. According to the Office of Inspector General’s General Compliance Program Guidance, compliance officers should have sufficient funding, resources, and staff to operate a compliance program capable of identifying, preventing, mitigating, and remediating compliance risks.   

In this webinar, the presenters will discuss how health centers can meet the expectations for staffing the function, even in challenging financial times.  The presenters will respond to frequently asked questions, including:  

  • Should the compliance officer be full or part-time?  
  • Can the compliance officer have other organizational duties?  
  • Does the compliance officer need to be a C-suite position? 
  • What does a health center compliance officer actually do? 
  • Are health centers required to have a staff compliance committee? 
  • Should we have additional staffing for the compliance function, such as an internal auditor?  

Join us for an interactive webinar to hear about health center best practices, common pitfalls to avoid, and other considerations to maximize efficiency and get the work done. 

In this session, you will gain insights on: 

  • Identifying the key roles and skills essential for a successful compliance team. 
  • Assessing organizational needs to build appropriate compliance programs. 
  • Ensuring compliance program independence and authority. 
  • Lessons learned on building an organizational culture of compliance. 

Whether you are building your compliance program from scratch or optimizing an existing program, this webinar is for you!
