Regulatory compliance is essential for businesses to operate legally and ethically. Non-compliance can lead to severe consequences such as financial fines, reduced business activities, damage to reputation, access issues to markets and product delays. Worker injuries and deaths, property damage, lost production and jail time are just a few of the examples of the risks of non-compliance. Failing to adhere to regulatory compliance requirements can open you up to risks beyond just fines. For example, security regulations exist to help protect against data breaches, financial regulations are there to protect against fraud, and safety regulations are designed to keep workers safe. By not following compliance regulations, you might even risk losing access to certain segments of your customer base.
One important aspect of compliance is to change the way risk ownership is handled in your organization. Risk should not be something which only the risk and compliance department worries about. Risk should be something which every department factors into their decision making.
