An Open Letter to CEOs and Board Members: In Support of the Compliance Function

We’ve all heard it said: “Tone at the top” is critical to the success of a compliance function, and financial institution regulators expect CEOs and boards of directors to foster a “culture of compliance” in the institutions they oversee. We’d expect most CEOs and boards, when questioned, to say this is their goal. But what happens when the CEO and the board — intentionally or unintentionally — send conflicting messages about the importance of compliance?

At the risk (but not with the intent) of insulting CEOs and board members of financial institutions, we believe it’s important to call out a problem that has faced the financial services industry for a long time: wavering support for the compliance function. No, it doesn’t happen in all institutions, but it does happen in too many. And it needs to change for the good of the industry.
