1.2 Research methodology
The research methodology used for the compliance requirements analysis of the charity-
care is literature review to get to know the current trends and advancements in the compliance
management system. It ensures the system is up-to-date and accurately stratified by the standards
of the organization.
1.3 Tools to capture the organizational data
The organizational data is recorded from the survey made from the direct interview with
the members of the organization that provide the data about the functional areas of the
organization and the requirements of each area. These areas are studied according to the legal
standard to determine which information to include in the system of the compliance management
system. The interview also provides the information about the capabilities and the budget that the

below provides the information about the effects of the compliance Regulation and requirements
and the possible Areas where compliance is most required (Sweeney, Danaher & McColl-
Kennedy, 2015).
3.1 Area affected
Charity organization maintains the user data of many donators and supporters of the
organization who provide the funds required by the organization. The fundraising operation of

COMPLIANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 9
the organization collects a huge amount of user data which is required to be managed by the
organization to provide consistency, sustainability, and monitoring of the functions operated by

● The fines if avoided can reach maximum Upton $50000 annually.
● Revoking of the non-profit status from the IRS.
3.4 Risk minimization
The risks identified in the previous study requires a good compliance management
system to ensure that the organization does not face any legal issues related to finance or license
(Irby et al., 2016). Minimization of the risk involved management of the finance and Core
functionalities of the organization. Management theories are possible through the compliance
management systems that cover the record of organization and maintenance and files required to

COMPLIANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 11
be filled to ensure its compliance with the charity organization (King, 2015). The risk
management involved in the system are discussed below.

COMPLIANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 14
4.4 Comparison of system
Comparison computing systems are based on the following parameters through which a
suitable system is decided and recommended for charity care.
4.4.1 Cost
The cost dynamic system is comparatively more because of the dynamic and flexible
nature author system requirements for a rigorous and aggressive monitoring of the data that is
processed and exchanged in the organization. It ensures that strict standards and law are
compiled while observing the system. This increase the cost and operational Complexity of the
system
The data-driven compliance management system is cheaper and easier to manage because
of its function occurring in the moment of the data insertion or data exchange. This kind of
monitoring is less expensive and requires managing the consistency of the data (Steffens,
Lichter & Moscher, 2018). The automation of the data for the filling of the legal forms is made
easier with the system. The monitoring of the data only works at the events and matches with the
previously recorded and the change introduced to verify the consistency of the data. It reminds
the for the taxation and manages the fundraising data along with the donator information strictly
complying with the Australian Security norms.
4.4.2 Effectiveness
The first system is proved to be more effective in managing the changes that are
introduced in the economic environment and is easier to adapt to the change as the management
is done through dynamic processing. The data is more crucial and accurately monitored within
specific time interval incorporating the changes in the system. The second system is more

COMPLIANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 15
effective in the management of the consistency of the data with minimum resources and is able
to accurately record and file the data to the required agency.
4.4.3 Efficiency
The first dynamic systems are a lot more efficient than the data-driven as it can
autonomously manage and incorporate the changes in itself. It is, however, complex and is time
resource-heavy process. It is able to secure and prevent data breaches with a standard set by the
regulatory boards.
4.4.4 Feasibility
The feasibility of the system is found to more for the data-driven approach. It is easier to
implement and requires fewer resources to fulfill the few requirements that are required by the
compliance management system for the organization. The dynamic system requires experienced
professionals with the organization to be able to operate which makes it less feasible. Moreover,
its cost is also high relative to data-driven CMS.
4.4.5 Match to organizational culture
Charity care manages the fundraising data and the computer care information which is
based on fixed data categories that are required by the organization and so all the process is
managed with the data itself. Applying a monitoring on the data records and the management of
the filing procedures for the data the culture of the organization is suitable for it adoption.

COMPLIANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 16
5.0 Recommended system components
With all the above points compared and analyzed it is found that data-driven Compliance
is cost-effective, feasible, and matches the culture of the organization for smoother
implementation that enables the organization for compliance management.
