An audit finding may begin as a compliance issue, but when it reveals significant financial exposure, potential regulatory violations, or broader organizational risk, the decisions extend well beyond the compliance department.

For compliance leaders, the priority is investigating the finding, understanding regulatory obligations, and recommending corrective action. For executives, those same findings raise questions about financial liability, operational impact, and organizational accountability.

How can both perspectives come together to determine the right course of action?

Join Brian Burton, Chief Compliance & Privacy Officer, and Crispin Vary, CEO of Compliancy Group, for a discussion of how healthcare organizations can navigate audit findings that require executive-level attention.

Through real-world enforcement examples and hypothetical scenarios, they’ll explore:

• Evaluating audit findings: How to investigate, validate, and quantify findings that may indicate broader compliance risks.
• Understanding regulatory obligations: Considerations involving overpayments, the Medicare 60-day report-and-return rule, and potential False Claims Act exposure.
• Communicating with leadership: How compliance officers can present findings, risks, and recommendations to executives and boards.
• Making informed decisions: Evaluating response options, including further investigation, repayment, disclosure, and corrective action.
• Building accountability: Documenting decisions, assigning responsibilities, and coordinating an organizational response.

Watch this on-demand webinar to gain insight into how compliance and executive leaders can work together when audit findings become organizational decisions.
