The Cost of Non-Compliance

“If you think compliance is expensive, try non-compliance.”
—Former U.S. Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty

Non-Compliance is Costly

Integrity incidents and penalties are critical metrics, highlighting the growing risks and financial consequences of non-compliance. The volume of organizations with integrity incidents showcases the vulnerability in organizational culture and controls, necessitating proactive measures to uncover and mitigate risks.

Increasing penalties and the money charged, underscore the increasing regulatory scrutiny and the financial impact of non-compliance, emphasizing the importance of well-resourced compliance programs.

These trends serve as a call to action for leaders to strengthen their compliance frameworks to protect their organizations from both reputational damage and financial loss.
