Compliance in Practice: Insights on What’s Working, What’s Not, & The Rise of AI

What do employees really think about their compliance programs?

Case IQ’s latest report reveals the truth. We surveyed over 800 employees across the U.S., Canada, Germany, and France to uncover how well compliance efforts are resonating with the people they’re meant to protect and where critical gaps remain.

Key findings include:

• Americans report the highest comfort with compliance issue reporting, whereas French respondents are the least comfortable.
• Older respondents tend to report lower compliance communication scores, while longer tenure slightly increases these scores. This trend is consistent across organizational and individual communication measures.
• Gender differences in compliance communication are minimal and mostly non-significant.
• Job level does not predict openness to AI use in compliance contexts, with similar acceptance levels across entry-level to executive positions.
• Organizational sharing of investigation outcomes was rated low across all countries, with the USA slightly higher.

Why This Report Matters

Today’s regulators are no longer satisfied with check-the-box programs. The DOJ now expects companies to proactively detect risks and use data analytics to validate program effectiveness. This report delivers an employee-eye view of how far compliance programs have come—and how far they still need to go.
