| These bodies warn that if banks and financial institutions fail to adhere to recommended compliance guidelines, they would tend to open themselves to operational, legal and reputational risks and consequent costs. Penalties imposed against non-compliance in certain countries are severe enough to force a bank or financial institutions ultimately close its operations.
