Expert Network Update - Top Risk Management & Compliance Controls H1-2025 - 21 March 2025

Risk and Compliance headwinds for Expert Networks and their clients in H1 are due to: (1) increased competition, margin compression, AI and tech-driven products & services; (2) an anticipated decrease in regulatory supervision and enforcement; and (3) ongoing geopolitical, cross border and cyber threats.

An increase in data loss and fraud is likely, with private litigation expected over the longer term to fill the supervisory void. A material regulatory event and return to enforcement should not be discounted given well-reported “animal spirits,” particularly if they run unchecked.
