  • Sampling size varies, ranging from 1 - 50 percent, with the median being 10 percent
  • 95 percent of respondents said their sampling sizes have never been questioned by a regulator
  • 83 percent of companies do not exempt any group of employees from the review policy (such as the legal department, CEO, compliance department)
