Cost‐benefit analysis and compliance culture

Abstract

The increasing use of cost‐benefit analysis (CBA) in financial regulation is bringing a sharper focus on the benefits conferred by regulation. This paper addresses the impact of that sharper focus on the compliance culture of regulated firms. Why focus on the benefits of regulation? What does CBA have to offer to the compliance culture of authorised firms? How does the introduction of CBA fit in with other developments in the regulatory arena? This paper offers some tentative answers to these questions.
