Compliance risk is sometimes also referred to as integrity risk, because a bank's reputation is closely connected with its adherence to principles of integrity and fair dealing. Banks must be satisfied that effective compliance policies and procedures are followed and that management takes appropriate corrective action when breaches of laws, rules and standards are identified.

To optimize its usefulness to all banks, the lecture stresses that a single framework of principles for effective compliance risk management does not restrict individual banks to a single organizational or operational approach. However, each bank must be prepared to demonstrate that the approach adopted is effective in dealing with the bank's unique compliance risk challenges.
