How many organizations of similar size bamboozle regulators?

When a fast food restaurant is responsible for an ecoli outbreak, regulars are quick to point out broken processes in the organization that need fixed.

It's a bit of reactionary theater, where both sides are playing a game to show that they are not the source of the problem. If you are the regulator, there is plenty of motivation to show the world you are doing your job by pointing to missteps in a process. If you are the offender, there is plenty of motivation to concede to "some" failures in process, cut your losses, and show that you are improving.

Everyone, if you could just submit your TPS reports on time that would be great.
