CUBE LAUNCHES INDUSTRY-LEADING COST OF COMPLIANCE REPORT 2025, HIGHLIGHTING ROLE OF AI IN TACKLING GLOBAL REGULATORY COMPLEXITY
The report surveyed over 2,000 senior compliance and risk officers from 1,300 unique financial institutions across 11 major global markets to identify the most pressing issues facing financial services organisations in an increasingly complex global regulatory environment. It aims to help guide strategic decision-making within compliance and risk departments and features exclusive interviews with leading industry professionals and regulatory experts.
CUBE's report finds that financial services regulation is now firmly back in the spotlight as governments seek to simplify rulebooks to drive growth and reduce complexity. A key factor in achieving this, the report notes, is the ability to stay ahead of any potential regulatory change and ensure executive decision makers are informed early. Encouragingly, 16% of respondents now report potential regulatory change directly to their executive teams or board, which has traditionally been seen as an area of weakness in firms' approach to compliance and risk.
The report also highlights that geopolitical uncertainty remains a significant concern for compliance and risk professionals globally. When asked how rising geopolitical tension would affect their approach to compliance and risk over the next 12 months, 25% of respondents said significant strategic change would be required, with 8% citing fundamental business model implications. Concerningly, 21% rated their regulatory change management approach as "somewhat" or "highly ineffective".
Describing the current environment facing financial services institutions, : "
Technology, particularly advances in AI, is expected to play a pivotal role in driving strategic change. :
With 98% of respondents reporting that they already automate at least part of their regulatory change management process, it's clear that compliance and risk professionals are turning to technology, and increasingly AI, to streamline operations and navigate the complex global regulatory landscape. However, CUBE's report found that it still takes organisations, on average, more than a year to fully implement a regulatory change. This highlights the critical importance of early visibility for decision makers on upcoming regulatory requirements.
Finally, the Cost of Compliance Report 2025 finds that AI itself will remain under heightened scrutiny from regulators. Between June 2024 and May 2025 , CUBE captured and published 157 financial services regulatory insights relating to new laws, rules and regulations relevant to the use of AI – almost double the volume from the previous year. This increase reflects ongoing uncertainty around how best to regulate the use of AI to ensure financial services institutions remain compliant when adopting this transformative technology.
