What does the culpability score measure?

The culpability score is designed to assess the degree of blame or guilt associated with an offense. It takes into account various factors that may indicate how responsible an individual or organization is for a violation of compliance norms or laws. This measurement is vital in determining the appropriate consequences or penalties for the misconduct.

Factors that can influence the culpability score include the intent behind the actions, any efforts made to prevent the violation, and the level of harm caused. By focusing on the degree of blame, the culpability score helps regulatory bodies and legal systems to evaluate not just the offense itself but also the mindset and responsibility of those involved. This nuanced understanding allows for a more tailored approach to compliance enforcement and can lead to a fairer resolution based on the specifics of each case.
