      Not all companies have the resources of large multinationals. For smaller companies working on shoestring budgets, implementing successful compliance programs is an uphill battle. However, there are creative and effective strategies:

• The art of the gap analysis—utilizing facts and figures to expand your budget and headcount
• Utilizing smart metrics—less is more
• Utilizing grassroots resources to bulk up your compliance presence—compliance champions in the trenches
• Utilizing home grown—5-minute training sessions
