Laws (lawyers), regulations/procedures, audits (auditors) are an organization's cholesterol. There are good ones (HDLs) and bad ones (LDLs); and the organization must constantly limit the number of bad ones so that they don't clog the organization's arteries, cut off its circulation and cause its death.

Your organization must constantly attempt to increase its HDL; lawyers, regulations, procedures and auditors that constructively promote structured, professional healthy circulation, metabolism, and production. Constructive HDL's are as valuable as life itself, for they realize that their purpose is to provide supporting structure to your organization's mission.

LDL's are parasites, intent on clogging, obstructing your organization's purpose, and too moronic to realize that they are destroying their own host. It cannot be overstated that the necessity to control LDL's is nothing less than a matter of life and death.
