Having an effective compliance program can mean the difference between paying a ten-figure fine to regulators — such as the more than $1 billion price tag that Ericsson was slapped with last December — versus something in the two-comma range. It can impact whether a company and executives are saddled with court- or regulator-appointed monitors. And in the most egregious cases, substandard compliance mechanisms can be the impetus for fines and criminal penalties for companies and individuals.
