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.
