Compliance Leadership Redefined 2025
We’re pleased to present our second edition of Compliance Leadership Redefined, a research report that seeks to identify insights through which compliance professionals can increase their influence on their organizations and have a seat at the executive table.
We again partnered with Ethico, whose philosophy and team are unmatched in building capability in compliance operations with a decidedly human touch. FTI Consulting’s People & Transformation team works with companies to bring their people along on the journey to continuously improve compliance through organizational communications, change management and culture evolution – before, during and after government investigations.
This year’s study illuminated several key takeaways:
- Compliance professionals have a tremendous opportunity right now to change the game by reconsidering how they engage with executives, leaders and managers.
- Compliance is a corporate function that never has enough resources – yet there is a vast, untapped army of middle managers waiting to be enlisted.
- More people recognize that organizational culture is the enabler of a sustainably successful compliance program. Yet few are investing in the work necessary to shift a culture.
