THE REGULATORY AND
COMPLIANCE CHALLENGE
COMPLIANCE CHALLENGE
Four priorities drive regulatory and compliance programs.
Waves of regulations are keeping financial services institutions on their toes. Costs for compliance are high, and financial institutions should frequently restructure to keep in compliance and future-proof the enterprise. Most institutions struggle to balance compliance and operating concerns with their need to craft a strong reputation as a desirable employer and good corporate citizen.
Several themes underlie the need for change in regulatory and compliance programs according to senior financial services compliance executives surveyed by Accenture:
Regulation
Continuing waves of regulation are driving significant compliance cost increases.
Restructuring
Financial services institutions should future-proof their operating models to remain compliant as demand for fundamental change continues.
Reputation
Financial services institutions should continually manage and enhance their reputation as corporate citizens and desirable employers.
Cost effectiveness
Financial pressures mean financial institutions should work to keep compliance costs within reason.

2018 COMPLIANCE
RISK STUDY
Take a modular approach to Compliance transformation, so you can move at the pace of the digital age.
Accenture’s 2018 Compliance Risk Study has revealed that companies may be hindering their growth by overly focusing on current risks instead of taking a proactive approach to managing the risks that are now coming to the fore, such as the proliferation of virtual currencies and new concerns about corporate conduct.
In this volatile risk ecosystem, the idea of phasing development across a multi-year roadmap is challenged by the need for continuous improvement in-line with industry transformations. Change is no longer optional. To succeed, industry leaders should lead with innovation, configuring their operating model, technology and talent strategies to establish Compliance 2020 and beyond.

-
Surveillance
Financial services institutions have spent considerable funds over the years on initiatives related to regulatory compliance, but major events continue to affect their reputation and profitability. In most cases, proper surveillance and early notification of improper and/or illegal activities could either have prevented the events from taking place or could have greatly limited their scope and the damage inflicted.
