Regulatory compliance is more burdensome than ever, with dozens of regulator’s across the UK and EU enforcing hundreds of regulations. Understanding your compliance obligations can be a headache. Regulators have wide sweeping powers of investigation and prosecution which can severely disrupt or restrict your business activities.
Fines resulting from convictions and non-compliance are at an all time high and imprisonment for directors and senior managers is now a very real threat.
Throw in the commercial and reputational damage associated with regulatory breaches, in addition to the lost management time involved in dealing with the regulators, and that headache could become a lot worse!
Compliance is not just about avoidance. It embraces corporate governance, developing legislation and awareness of the commercial and legal dangers of non-compliance. Corporate Governance requirements and shareholder pressures require the management of regulatory risk from executive board level down.
The Courts and Regulators are demanding a positive regulatory culture and strong leadership on managing regulatory risk. However no business is immune from human error or oversight. Even the smallest breach can quickly escalate into a serious criminal offence.
