Background
"Corporate compliance," "business ethics," and "governance" are familiar
terms easily recognized by today's business executive. This relatively new
field of compliance is growing in relevance and visibility, particularly as
the trial of former ENRON executives charged with fraud and conspiracy in
connection with the company's collapse, occurs.
The compliance officer position can now be found in almost every industry,
in public and private companies, and in nonprofit organizations. Compliance
professionals develop and oversee corporate compliance programs to ensure
that their organizations comply with state and federal regulations.
