KPIs enable organizations to identify areas needing improvement, thus preventing potential compliance breaches that can lead to financial penalties, reputation damage, or operational setbacks. They also provide a transparent way for stakeholders to assess a company's commitment to compliance, enhancing trust and facilitating smoother cooperation. Ultimately, these metrics are invaluable for aligning stakeholder engagement strategies with regulatory demands, optimizing the organization's responsiveness to the changing regulatory landscape, and demonstrating due diligence in compliance efforts.
