Which of the following is NOT typically under the oversight of an organization's compliance committee?

  1. Recommending fraud prevention measures

  2. Reviewing compliance training programs

  3. Advising on coding practices

  4. Recommending a specific merit increase in pay for employee's adherence to the code of conduct

The correct answer is: Recommending a specific merit increase in pay for employee's adherence to the code of conduct

The oversight of an organization's compliance committee typically focuses on ensuring that the organization adheres to relevant laws, regulations, and ethical standards. This includes evaluating policies and practices related to compliance, handling training programs to educate employees about compliance requirements, and recommending measures to prevent fraud. The recommendation of a specific merit increase in pay for an individual employee based on their adherence to the code of conduct does not fall within the typical purview of a compliance committee. While employee performance and merit increases may be influenced by adherence to compliance and ethical standards, the determination of specific compensation adjustments is usually handled by human resources or management rather than the compliance committee. This separation ensures that the compliance committee can maintain its focus on overall compliance initiatives and policies without being involved in individual employment decisions, thereby avoiding potential conflicts of interest.
