Addressing compliance issues proactively does more than just satisfy a legal requirement. It makes your business more competitive. It motivates your employees by making them proud of their organization. And it consistently provides a positive return on investment. In a time when a new and more aggressive enforcement regime has combined with economic uncertainty and a raft of new laws and regulations, ensuring that your business will not be derailed by compliance issues is more important than ever.

Small and mid-sized corporations may be unable to address these issues with internal resources, or unaware of new or existing requirements. Those that are aware may think they are too small to be of interest to enforcers or plaintiffs, but this is not true. Prosecutors like to go after “easy pickings” — smaller companies usually do not have the resources to mount a sustained defense.
