Talk:Compliance professional

Hello!

I am an editor in the health care compliance field, and a lawyer, and I came across the entry here and thought it seemed inaccurate when applied to the actual title of compliance officer, or more generally, compliance professional. In my field, compliance professionals are the people who work in an organization to make sure it complies with all applicable laws and regulations and maintains ethical business practices. It has absolutely nothing to do with marketing or PR.

Please see organizations like the following, which will provide some support for my idea that this entry should be refocused: Health Care Compliance Association Ethics & Compliance Officer Association

Thanks for letting me know what you think. I'd be glad to draft the page if needed.

Interesting comment, however I think the term "compliance professional" is right on target in terms of describing propaganda, sales, PR people, and the work of think tanks, and it would be a shame to abandon the phrase. This page as is, is powerful and useful and a great starting point for other research and discussion. Which is more important: government regulations...or something that affects, indeed controls, public perception? I vote the latter as a far more meaningful use of the words "compliance professional." -- John Graves — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.189.6.233 (talk) 19:02, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
