Declining economy has increased<br />
compliance risks<br />
On January 6, 2009, the <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Care</strong><br />
<strong>Compliance</strong> <strong>Association</strong> reported the results<br />
of a survey it recently conducted with the<br />
Society of Corporate <strong>Compliance</strong> and<br />
Ethics. The survey reveals that the declining<br />
economy may be increasing the risk of legal<br />
and ethics violations in business. In addition,<br />
this increased risk is occurring at a time when<br />
budgets to manage those risks are expected to<br />
at best hold steady, if not decline.<br />
The survey, based on an online questionnaire<br />
completed by more than 600 compliance and<br />
business ethics professionals, showed that<br />
85% feel that the current economy greatly<br />
or somewhat increases the risk of compliance<br />
and ethics failures. To download the entire<br />
