Compliance officer

A compliance officer is the person who runs an organization’s compliance program, including exclusion screening, and reports to its leadership and board. OIG guidance treats the role as a core element.

What to know

  • In small organizations the compliance officer often runs monthly screening and reviews every potential match personally.
  • OIG recommends that the compliance officer report directly to the chief executive and the board.
