Here is the most recent simplified version of the Fiene Algorithm for Generating Regulatory Compliance Key Indicators (RCKI)

  1. Add up regulatory non-compliances for all programs, agencies, jurisdictions, etc…
  2. Review Regulatory Compliance history sorted from high to low
  3. Nominal (Compliance(1)/Non-Compliance(0)) or ordinal measurement (Gradient(1-5)) scaling
  4. Take Risk Assessment Weighting (1-9) into account and apply to nominal or ordinal scaling.
  5. Top 25% (High Group) and bottom 25% (Low Group) of regulatory compliance scores
  6. Drop out the middle 50% of regulatory compliance scores
  7. Develop a 2 x 2 matrix which includes each regulation by the High Group and Low Group
  8. Cells of the Matrix:  A = High Group + Programs in Compliance on Specific Regulation
  9. B = High Group + Programs out of Compliance on Specific Regulation
  10. C = Low Group + Programs in Compliance on Specific Regulation
  11. D = Low Group + Programs out of Compliance on Specific Regulation
  12. W = Total Number of Programs in Compliance on Specific Regulation
  13. X = Total Number of Programs out of Compliance on Specific Regulation
  14. Y = Total Number of Programs in High Group.
  15. Z = Total Number of Programs in Low Group
  16. Use the following formula: ((A)(D)) – ((B)(C)) / sqrt ((W)(X)(Y)(Z)) = RCKI
  17. Result will range from –1 to +1
  18. +.5 to +1.0 will be included as Regulatory Compliance Key Indicators (RCKI).  All other regulations will not be included.
