Compliance costs to more than double by 2022

Finance professionals expect the costs of keeping the watchdogs at bay could creep up to 10% of firm revenues

Compliance costs to more than double by 2022

Financial institutions' regulatory costs could more than double over the next five years, according to a survey of 183 senior staff at asset managers, brokers and banks by professional services firm Duff & Phelps.

The survey found that firms typically spend 4% of their total revenue on compliance, but that could rise to 10% by 2022, with around nine out of ten of those polled stating that regulatory reforms were increasing their compliance costs.
