Hotline Statistics Reveal Hidden Risks in Compliance Programs, Expert Says
Audit Findings and Transactional Records Show Emerging Trends in Regulatory Non-Compliance
A closer look at hotline statistics, transactional records, audit findings, and compliance exception reports has revealed hidden risks lurking beneath the surface of many organizations’ compliance programs, according to experts at Deloitte Advisory.
The Analysis
The analysis, which was shared at a recent industry conference, highlighted emerging trends in regulatory non-compliance that companies would do well to address. “These statistics can be incredibly valuable in identifying areas where existing or emerging risks may reside within an organization,” said Nicole Sandford, Partner and National Practice Leader of Enterprise Compliance Services at Deloitte.
Industry Trends
The data suggests that certain industries are more prone to compliance issues than others. For example:
- Technology sector: Hotline statistics revealed a significant number of reports related to data privacy and cybersecurity concerns.
- Financial services industry: Audit findings pointed to recurring issues with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations.
“This is not necessarily surprising, given the increasing complexity of regulatory environments and the ongoing need for companies to stay ahead of emerging risks,” said Keith Darcy, Independent Senior Advisor to Deloitte. “However, it’s essential that organizations take proactive steps to address these issues before they become major problems.”
