Current requirements and regulations bolstered existing compliance obligations, and imposed new ones on previously unregulated industries. Financial institutions have been required to update their policies and procedures to adapt to the new regulations. Strict compliance must be observed otherwise, the danger of non-compliance could be tremendous.
