Feeling of fatigue

Completed 5km in 35min 36secs. Probably a personal best. But really feel fatigue, physically and mentally. Probably due to work demands and stress.

Some of my colleagues are suffering "Compliance fatigue" and today my office got 3 different sets of auditors present, the External Auditors, the Regional Auditors and the Internal Auditors. That's just auditors. In addition, everyone still got to run/continue operations and fill in many internal (compliance) checklists. Less than a month and I have already completed one checklist and did risk rating for another checklist in addition to my normal work :S

Strong internal control and compliance culture is good for the company and everyone, but I do wonder how it can be balanced so that staff don't get burned out with compliance requirements in the age of SOX.
