Firms Responding to Regulatory Change Faster but Confidence Is Falling, Survey Finds
Survey of more than 2,000 compliance leaders finds 61% now embed regulatory change within a year, while only 45% rate their approach effective.
- Released Wednesday, November 04, 2026, the Cost of Compliance Report 2026 from CUBE reveals firms are implementing regulatory changes faster, yet confidence in compliance effectiveness is declining.
- Ben Richmond, Founder and CEO of CUBE, explained firms are deploying AI faster than they can govern it, with data quality remaining the most-cited barrier to scaling.
- While 61% of firms now embed regulatory change within a year, compliance costs rose for 64% of organizations over the past year, and only 45% rate their approach as effective.
- Senior leaders are leaving roles with direct compliance accountability at 35% of firms, while 58% of respondents expect regulatory scrutiny of AI use to increase over the next year.
- To benchmark progress, firms must prioritize board-level metrics for the next six to 24 months, as closing the distance between deployment and evidence remains critical for AI success.
