Understanding Compliance Risk

Compliance risk arises when laws, regulations, or standards are not adequately understood, implemented, or monitored. These risks can vary significantly across jurisdictions, sectors, and operating environments.

Key areas of compliance risk include:

• Regulatory and legal requirements

• Anti-bribery and corruption standards

• Sanctions and trade controls

• Data protection and privacy obligations

• ESG-related reporting and disclosure

• Human rights and labour standards

Why Compliance Matters

For organisations, compliance failures can result in:

• Financial penalties and legal action

• Operational disruption

• Reputational damage and loss of trust

• Increased regulatory scrutiny

For governments and public institutions, strong compliance frameworks support:

• Regulatory effectiveness and enforcement

• Public accountability and transparency

• Economic stability and investor confidence

• Alignment with international standards
