Compliance Specialist Jobs

A Compliance Specialist in the finance industry is primarily responsible for ensuring that the organization adheres to a variety of regulations, laws, and professional standards. They monitor, evaluate and communicate the organization's compliance status with respect to these regulations. They often conduct regular audits, implement compliance strategies, and provide compliance training to employees. Some Compliance Specialists may also be involved in developing targeted risk assessment methodologies, carrying out specific risk assessments, and building risk management plans.
