Pursuing and maintaining MRC Accreditation is a significant commitment of staffing resources, time, and money. In addition to the annual direct costs of audits and potential remediations, there is also the latent cost of staff disruption, product/engineering investments, IT General Controls adherence, and audit management.

But with a strong compliance program and audit representation, you can reduce both the hard costs as well as the impacts to your organization. In addition to designing and implementing efficient policies and procedures, an experienced MRC Compliance Officer can help you establish the kind of predictable operations and audit processes that secure the lowest costs for the annual examinations.

That said, many companies do not need a full-time MRC Compliance Officer, and it may be too expensive for an earlier-stage organization to hire a sufficiently-experienced leader. Instead, leverage our compliance experience and strong relationships with the Media Rating Council in a fractional capacity:
