The annual Cost of Compliance Survey Report by Thomson Reuters Accelus provides insight into the experiences and expectations of compliance professionals. This global report is driven by a great level of industry participation and is intended to help regulated organizations with future planning, resourcing and focus. Participants remain anonymous but their views are crucial in helping peers benchmark their own practices and experiences, and assess whether their resources focus and expectations are in line with the wider industry.
Over 600 practitioners across 71 countries participated in this survey. Read the survey
to learn about:
• More than half of compliance professionals expect their personal liability to increase
in 2014 with 36 percent expecting a significant increase.
• Two thirds of respondents expect the cost of senior compliance to increase in 2014
with over a fifth (21 percent) expecting costs to rise significantly.
• In parallel, nearly two thirds thought that the total compliance team budget would increase
in 2014 and a fifth (20 percent) thought the budget would be significantly more in 2014.
• Over a third of firms globally spend at least a whole working day every week tracking
and analyzing regulatory change.
• Globally, compliance functions again reported spending very little time liaising with
the internal audit function. A persistently repeated finding which is a growing cause of concern.
