Who Don T Want A Compliance Program Case Study

3. RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU DON’T WANT A COMPLIANCE PROGRAM! DUMBASS.
Asking ‘Who doesn’t want a Compliance Program’ is like asking ‘who hates their mother’? No one is going to actually speak up and say ‘Me! My mother was a bitch!” – Even if she actually was. So who wouldn’t want a real compliance program in their company??? It protects the board, the executives, gives them greater control, and provides transparency. It adds value to your business practices in that it creates greater clarity and integrity to the company for your clients, business partners, shareholders, and employees. So why would anyone not want a compliance program? In my opinion, there are three categories of people who don’t want a compliance program in their company;

Dirty office politics is their strongest skill. They are masters at filtering and directing (or misdirecting) information, becoming the conduit of control or access to the executive management team or other decision makers either through hierarchy or influence. They are the evil advisors to the emperor who keeps the emperor ignorant and under control – Gríma Wormtongue’s every one of them!

Some of these Mini-Kings will exhibit signs of narcissistic personality disorder and should have been on medication. And I ain’t even joking about that part. Hand to the Almighty; some of these fuckers are bat shit crazy. They rarely recognize or value the expertise of others except in how they may utilize them for their own purpose. That is your hook, maybe your only hook. That is how you convince Mini-Kings to implement a compliance program.
