Risk Manager, Internal Auditor, Accreditation Lieutenant, Accreditation Manager, Compliance Director, Compliance Operations Manager
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.
“Ang aking trabaho ay magsagawa ng mga pagsusuri sa aming mga kasalukuyang patakaran, pamamaraan, kasanayan, at daloy ng trabaho upang maunawaan kung kami ay sumusunod sa lahat ng mga batas ng estado at pederal. Kung makakahanap ako ng lugar na mapapabuti ay tumutulong ako sa pagbuo ng mga programang idinisenyo upang mabawasan ang panganib. Sinusuri at sinusuri ko rin ang mga kontrata ng vendor upang matukoy kung maibibigay ng kumpanya ang mga serbisyong kailangan, sapat na naghahanda upang suportahan ang aming pangkalahatang mga pangangailangan, at pagkatapos ay bumuo ng mga aktwal na kontrata para sa lagda. Bilang isa sa mga mas mahalagang aspeto ng aking trabaho, nagsasagawa ako ng buwanang pagtatasa ng panganib sa mga kasanayan sa negosyo. Tumutulong ako na tukuyin kung saan maaaring gawin ang mga pagpapabuti at pagkatapos ay ipasa ang mga ito sa mga tagapamahala at tumulong na bumuo ng mas mahusay na proseso ng dokumentasyon at mga pagsusuri sa kontrol sa kalidad. “ Jarrett Wright Carson, Compliance Manager, Alaska USA FCU

"Ang aking karaniwang araw ay nagsisimula sa isang pulong. Sinisikap kong palaging magkaroon ng isang pulong ng pangkat upang bigyang-priyoridad ang mga kailangang gawin sa loob ng aking dibisyon. Sa pulong na ito ay nakatuon ako sa mga priyoridad ng trabaho, tinitiyak na ako at ang aking koponan ay sa parehong pahina, at pagkatapos ay tiyaking alam ko kung may anumang mga isyu na maaaring lumitaw. Ang komunikasyon ay susi. Pagkatapos ng paunang pulong na ito, kadalasan ay sinusuri ko ang aking pang-araw-araw at production tracker. Ito ay nagpapahintulot sa akin na makita kung ano ang mayroon ako sa aking "to do list", ang mga priyoridad, at kung sino ang nangangailangan nito. Pagkatapos ay sisimulan kong piliin ang item na may pinakamataas na priyoridad o kung ano ang maaaring gawin sa pinakamabilis at dahan-dahang pag-atake sa listahan. Kung minsan ay mangangailangan ito ng malawak na pagbabasa, mga kontrata, mga legal na dokumento, mga batas ng pederal o estado, atbp. Pagkatapos ng tanghalian ay nagpalit na ako ng mga gamit at nagsimulang tumuon sa aspeto ng pagsasanay ng ginagawa ng aking koponan. Bumuo kami ng mga programa sa pagsasanay at nagbibigay-daan ito sa akin na tumutok sa lugar na ito nang walang maraming distractions. Sa pagtatapos ng araw, nagsasagawa ako ng impormal repasuhin kung ano ang nagawa ng aking koponan, kung ano ang nagawa ko, at pagkatapos ay bumuo ng isang plano para sa susunod na araw at ang aking mga pulong sa umaga."
