CUBE Releases 2025 Cost of Compliance Report Highlighting AI’s Role in Regulatory Management

November 18, 2025
CUBE has published its 2025 Cost of Compliance Report, surveying over 2,000 compliance and risk officers to assess global regulatory challenges. The report notes a surge in AI regulations and emphasizes technology’s growing role in managing compliance complexity.

CUBE has launched its Cost of Compliance Report 2025, surveying more than 2,000 senior compliance and risk officers across 1,300 financial institutions in 11 major markets, announced in a press release. The report examines the challenges facing financial services organizations amid rising regulatory complexity and geopolitical uncertainty.

The report highlights that 98% of respondents have automated at least part of their regulatory change management process, reflecting a growing reliance on AI and technology to handle compliance tasks. However, it still takes organizations more than a year on average to fully implement new regulatory changes, underlining the importance of early visibility into evolving requirements.

Between June 2024 and May 2025, CUBE tracked 157 new financial services regulations concerning AI, nearly double the previous year’s total. This increase underscores regulatory uncertainty around the governance of AI technologies. CUBE’s CEO, Ben Richmond, noted that the company’s acquisition of Kodex AI supports its goal to create a unified compliance, risk, and agentic AI platform to help firms adapt to accelerating regulatory change.
