Gender pay gaps wormed their way further into the compliance space in 2021, digging in across job title, industry, education level, organizational size, and years of experience.
Out of 308 respondents to our “Inside the Mind of the CCO” survey, 56 percent identified as women compared to 44 percent for men. Pay disparity existed at multiple positions and ranks and accelerated at higher levels of authority. Among a cohort of 90 CCOs and chief ethics and compliance officers (CECOs), women were paid 71 percent of what men with the same title were paid on average.
