Every organization on Earth has some sort of financial structure, whether it’s a “mom and pop” store, a nonprofit, a company, an insurance firm, or a government agency. And whenever money is involved, you can bet there are rules and regulations about how that money gets used. That’s why most organizations have at least one dedicated Financial Compliance Officer on staff to keep them out of legal trouble.
Financial Compliance Officers carefully review balance sheets, income statements, and other financial documents. They meticulously screen for discrepancies and ensure compliance with applicable federal and state regulations (plus any other guidelines they’re asked to watch out for). Their goal is to find and prevent oversights, errors, and fraud that could impact the integrity of their employer’s finances.
