Corporate Compliance Cartoon - The Policy No One Knows Exists

In this Kaapi with Ravi corporate compliance cartoon, a manager solemnly declares,

“You’ve violated compliance clause 16.6.3.2 on page 573.”

To which the bewildered employee replies,

“Wait, we have a compliance policy?”

And that right there sums up modern compliance.

Across corporate corridors, policies are meticulously documented — often buried in intranet folders no one opens until something goes wrong.

For most employees, compliance manuals might as well be urban myths: everyone’s heard of them, no one’s actually seen one.

This cartoon humorously captures that absurd gap between policy creation and policy awareness. The irony? Companies preach transparency and process, yet the average employee learns about these rules only post-violation.

The humor masks a quiet truth — compliance isn’t about how thick the manual is, it’s about how well it’s understood. Because when rules exist only in PDFs and PowerPoints, they serve as traps, not guidance.

Be honest — have you also learned about a company policy only after violating it?
