Managing increased responsibilities within the organization, combined with a never-ending deluge of new and/or updated regulations, while fighting constant budget battles to justify the cost of compliance resources that don’t immediately connect to the bottom line, is resulting in a heightened sense of ‘regulatory fatigue’.
