Components of Effective Compliance Training in GRC

The components of effective compliance training in GRC follow from one reframe. Training is a control, and controls have to be evidenced.

Which means four things belong in the record rather than in a plan. What the training was intended to control, linked to the obligation it addresses. Who was in scope, including contractors where the duty reaches them. Completion, with the content version they saw. And what happened with people who did not complete it.

The fourth is the one organisations skip, and it is the one that gets asked about. A completion rate with no follow-up shows only that the training existed. An escalation trail shows that the organisation actually acted on it.

Assessment strengthens the record further, because it evidences understanding rather than mere attendance.

Safe Work Australia covers information, training and instruction duties. This is general information rather than legal advice, and obligations vary by state and territory.
