When we are young, we are dreaming of being fireman, doctor,
movie or rock star, teacher, … . Becoming a Compliance Officer is not something
that can be named as a child dream. None of us woke up in the middle of the
night and run to parents to share a desire of working with regulations,
policies and corporate governance. So how all of that begins?
Why one wants to become Compliance Officer? I asked that
question to students who are just about to receive the certificate of Compliance
Officer. In all of the responses I could recognize one common goal. They all want to influence and guard,
either business or government, politics or other forms of human activities.
Being a Compliance Officer means you have a desire to change the world. You want to have a great impact on it. You have a courage and persistence to fight for an ethical values.
21 new Compliance Officers from Wroclaw University of Economics are just entering workforce. I am extremely proud that I had a chance to be part of their journey. During the last year we discussed a lot our daily job challenges. We all have this very understanding that we are all vulnerable to fear and persuasion. However, our conviction of acting as a face of ethical values is much stronger. That is why we all made a choice:
STAY STRONG. Stick to the values.
