Compliance Competence: The Multidisciplinary Skill
What's the single most important competence in compliance? It's not legal, accounting, or cybersecurity in isolation. It's the ability to coordinate these disciplines into one coherent, repeatable system.
About This Episode
Compliance is a multidisciplinary field. It sits at the intersection of law, governance, finance, security, privacy, and business operations.
Legal teams interpret requirements and obligations. Security and IT turn them into controls that actually work in systems. Risk teams prioritize what matters most. Finance and accounting ensure the evidence holds up and the process scales. And operations makes sure compliance doesn't collapse under real-world workflows.
The real competence isn't being the best lawyer, auditor, or security engineer. It's the ability to coordinate these disciplines into one coherent, repeatable system.
