Enforcement Resources

Definition

Enforcement resources refer to the personnel, funding, and technological capabilities available to regulatory bodies for ensuring compliance with laws. These resources enable agencies to investigate violations, prosecute offenders, and impose penalties within their jurisdiction. For financial regulators, this includes specialized staff, data analysis tools, and legal expertise necessary to monitor markets and pursue actions against illicit activities. Adequate enforcement resources are crucial for maintaining market fairness, investor protection, and systemic stability.
