Improving the Corrective Action Process

Persistence

The Goal

American Express needed a more efficient, transparent system for managing corrective actions related to compliance issues. The process was fragmented, with teams relying on disconnected tools and manual tracking, leading to delays and inefficiencies.

Process

Flexibility

I collaborated with compliance teams and internal stakeholders to understand pain points in the current workflow. One major issue was the lack of visibility—compliance officers struggled to track corrective actions across different teams.

We introduced a centralized dashboard that provided real-time tracking of corrective actions, automated notifications for pending tasks, and a streamlined approval process. By integrating with existing compliance databases, we reduced the need for manual data entry.

The Results

The new system cut corrective action resolution time by 35% and significantly improved reporting accuracy. Compliance officers reported increased efficiency and better collaboration across teams.

Going Forward

Next steps involve integrating AI-driven risk analysis to proactively identify potential compliance issues before they escalate, further reducing the burden on compliance teams.
