Historically, compliance has been looked upon by many organisations with little enthusiasm. Hence expenditure in this area has been below what is required to meet today’s regulatory standards. Underinvestment and a lack of awareness of what the future had to bring has largely been responsible for the significant increase in profile and importance of the company compliance department. Negative press coverage of recent events such as mortgage endowment shortfalls, pension miss-selling and split capital trust failures have increased the publics awareness of issues relating to products and services that they may have bought or are considering purchasing. It is possible for organisations to review their historic business sales and put into place systems that will alleviate the future unwanted attention of the regulator. In addition, customer care and retention have become important areas of focus. How a business treats its customer is a regulatory issue that successful businesses will acknowledge and work to improve.
