As regulatory pressures continue to mount, managing compliance has
become a tremendous challenge to many organizations. Compliance may be
managed in silos throughout the organization, leading to inconsistencies,
duplication of efforts, and a higher cost to the organization. Effective
compliance programs leverage a more practical, cross-regulatory approach
to managing compliance that can alleviate increasing costs and complexity.

    Join Michael Rasmussen, president of Corporate Integrity, Julian Parkin,
Group Privacy Programme Director at Barclays and John Kelly, director of
product marketing at OpenPages as they discuss the importance and benefits
of breaking down compliance silos as well as other topics including:


--  Understanding how to improve your compliance program and how to
    approach it more strategically
--  How taking a cross-regulatory approach can lower your overall
    compliance costs
--  How Barclays has implemented a comprehensive privacy program across 60
    jurisdictions world-wide
--  How Barclays is developing its privacy methodology and tools to align
    with existing risk and compliance activity across the Group
--  How other OpenPages customers manage and demonstrate compliance to
    internal and external stakeholders while improving efficiency and lowering
    costs
