SLIDE COMMENTS
The main challenge is complexity. There’s considerably more here than you can talk about. How can we simplify this slide?
The row headings can be abbreviated, as shown in the next slide. Harmonize the use of capital letters (first word only).
The column headings can be bolder/larger, as shown in the next slide.
One way to simplify is to focus just on the level one headings for both rows and columns.
Do compliance plans go under policies or under monitoring? I suggest having audit methods under company policies.
