Navigating the new compliance frontier 

With DORA in effect across Europe and other enforcement priorities reshaping oversight, 2026 is redefining accountability. Organizations are adapting programs to meet complex global expectations.

AI, automation, and the ethics of oversight 

As the EU’s AI Act and U.S. agency guidance take hold, compliance operations are being rebuilt around responsible innovation. Ethical AI use, data integrity, and transparent governance are becoming essential elements to modern compliance strategy.

Culture, resilience, and leadership at the core 

Workplace pressure, labor evolution and board scrutiny demand stronger cultures and clearer leadership. Trust, resilient supply chains, and visible ethics oversight are emerging as critical differentiators in 2026.
