Maximize the Impact of Your Compliance Department

Good compliance practices are good business practices. But poor compliance practices can have tragic consequences that go way beyond the bottom line.

Failure to consider compliance requirements as an integral part of your business operations can come at a high cost—a negative impact on customer relationships, hefty fines or a sullied reputation among regulators. That’s why you need robust compliance leadership and a compliance department that sets and follows the highest standards for the company.

Compliance departments help their companies stay ahead of regulations, which is particularly relevant in light of historic levels of enforcement by the U.S Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission. Fines for corporations have increased substantially over the past decade, putting even more pressure on compliance departments. Headlines about corporate bribery charges and improper payments to government officials criss-cross the globe in seconds, eroding stakeholder confidence and causing companies to lose standing, customers and profit.
