Two new studies confirm what those tasked with oversight of corporate compliance probably already know: More and more often these days, the chief compliance officer’s job is a full-time, stand-alone gig, rather than a secondary duty one handles while wearing some other title.
A poll from the Open Compliance and Ethics Group found that of 365 respondents, nearly 75 percent said their company has a chief ethics and compliance officer or someone in a similar role with top-level oversight of compliance. That’s up from only 10 percent in a similar poll from 2005.
