“…Beyond Compliance is about a necessary change in the way businesses carry out compliance, from expensive mechanical 'tick-boxing' to a much more mature, intelligent and lower cost 'judgment-based' compliance which aims to prevent problems occurring rather than treating symptoms and adds value by enhancing customer experience, reducing errors and complaints, reducing reputational damage and regulatory risk. It would work as a reference book in business as well as an academic text. …”
