Simple, you make the fines bigger.

Until the fines become an existential threat to the company, the fines are too small.

Once the fines actually start impacting the returns, everybody inside the company will start paying more attention.

The idea being that the companies that survive will be the ones that happen to have effective systems that incentivise law abiding behavior.
