My younger brother refers to me as the Compliance Nazi (in gest of course).

Thats funny....my staff call me the Fabric Nazi. We started doing quilts for charity and I won't let them adjust my fabric colors (My budget pays, my colors win!) This of course comes from the same group of women who take me shopping with them because they can't choose colors...but that seems to be forgotten when I go out and buy on my own....

I love the titles that go with CRA

We used to have a CRAP (cra progam) on which we reported to the CRAB (cra board). We considered a CRAC (cra committee) but since I'm normally late getting things done the CRAM (cra management) decided not to push it.

From most of the responsibilities, it seems that you are a unique cross between a Risk Management and Marketing Officer.

Not only do you bring in the customers but you sort out the bad stuff that could happen to some.

Our company doesn't even have a Compliance Department anymore. It's now called Regulatory Risk Mgt.

A small bank compliance officer may well be:
"The One Who Does All Other Duties as Assigned"

You got that right, Andy. Our IT person just quit and moved and now guess who everyone is supposed to call when they have computer problems? You got it!

Well, we know one of two things is true.
1) They are in good hands.
2) You are enjoying a pay raise equal to your additional duties.

(Yea, sometimes I crack myself up. )

Manager - Corporate Compliance

That's the best title, unless you are also an officer:

AVP - Corporate Compliance
VP - Corporate Compliance
SVP - Corporate Compliance

Gee, Andy, you just crack me up. Well, we know one is not true and I'm not sure how much of the other one is!! I was left out of all training when we converted to new software, installed new servers, etc...

That's too funny!

I don't care what I am called...as long as I get called for dinner.

Sorry to be late for the party, but I don't check this discussion area too often. Even though they seem to take time away from "real work", organizational details are extremely important. The name of your function and the titles of those who perform it matter.

After years of battling with business managers about "compliance" being part of their jobs and hearing the broken-record response "C-O-M-P-L-I-A-N-C-E is stenciled on the door of your office not mine", I scraped the door clean and renamed the function "Regulatory Risk Management." Our titles were also changed to reflect the theme. When you say to your organization that you are a compliance officer, manager or anything else, you are conceding responsibility for much more than you can control. No one can achieve compliance within a business controlled by another officer unless that officer OKs necessary procedural changes, staffing and budget.
