Enforcement Policy Shift

Definition

An enforcement policy shift indicates a change in how regulatory bodies apply existing laws or introduce new directives, particularly in response to market developments. This alteration can involve revised priorities, new interpretations of legal statutes, or different approaches to investigating and prosecuting violations. Such shifts directly influence operational practices and risk assessments for entities within the regulated sector. These adjustments aim to address emerging risks or adapt to technological advancements.
