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.
