Introduction
Much has been written in recent years about human behavior and the
tendency to avoid or bypass regulations and good behavior. At the same
time, governments all around the globe have enacted legislation to pre-
vent and punish those who do not comply. In legal entities like corpora-
tions where there are diverse culture and behavior, it has been difficult
for regulators to ensure legislation is enforced and complied with. Thus,
they have opted to pass the onus onto compliance departments, new
entities appointed or set up, whose role is to ensure legislation is com-
plied with. Such a task has many challenges and, at the same time,
opportunities for those involved.
The current book aims to set the scene for the financial compliance
in an effort to minimize the personal risks faced by those in compliance
departments by raising awareness on the issues impacting on their work,
discussing the concerns and suggesting policy implications that will turn
the challenges into opportunity to improve their work. Unlike other
books on compliance, the current book focuses in the first two chapters
on what is described as compliance ‘as viewed from below’; that is to
say, a ground-level look at how compliance occurs. The chapters that fol-
low are mostly concerned with how those who have a responsibility to
enforce laws and regulations can achieve their ends with optimum effi-
ciency and effectiveness—an approach that can reasonably be described
as compliance ‘as viewed from above’. As Professor Sir Anthony Bottoms
explains in Chapter 1, these two types of analysis are in principle inter-
connected because an enhanced understanding of ‘compliance from

‘Creative Compliance’
We now turn to the third sub-type of instrumental compliance, ‘crea-
tive compliance’16 (see Fig. 1). This sub-type is perhaps of special inter-
est in the context of this volume, because creative compliance has been
identified as occurring especially in relation to regulation in the field of
business, notably in financial services. Indeed, it has been described by
Doreen McBarnet (2013, p. 71) as ‘the dominant culture of compliance
in business, and …among those “high net worth” individuals with the
resources and power to manage law to suit their own purposes’ (empha-
sis added). McBarnet’s telling analysis of the character of creative compli-
ance deserves extensive quotation:
Legal engineers know that they are not following the intentions or spirit
of the law. Bankers and banking lawyers talk in interview about their legal
practices as ‘bullish’ or ‘sailing close to the wind’ ….. In the mindset that
underlies and fosters legal engineering, all the responsibility for control is
placed on the regulators. If they can’t make regulations ‘legal engineer-
ing-proof’, or spot the failings in the schemes, it is fair game to exploit
that situation. Ideas such as responsibility, the public good, morality, ethics
or integrity do not enter into the equation. (p. 86)
