Compliance is "usually" to keep abreast of laws and changes, recommend changes in P&P when there are changes in laws or systems, advise management on laws, risks and mitigation, train, or initiate training, monitor and test and provide management and board with reports.
In smaller institutions, most employees get involved in everything, but like Randy mentioned, there would be a loss of independence, I would try to stepback from the process by creating a checklist for someone in loan ops to follow, and monitoring the results. Start the monitoring by going over the results with the trainee, then when you get confidence, go to random sampling.
(The same for marketing - train someone oh what is required by product type, create a checklist and monitor it. [Caveat, if it does not fit the checklist, call compliance!] It prevents the panic of tracking down compliance on 11:50 AM Friday for a noon submission to the local paper!)
