In this Compliance That Makes Sense episode, I want to discuss the main differences between an amateur and a compliance pro. I can’t keep this silent and polite and be politically correct because I feel the need to rant about all kinds of mistakes, behaviors, and wrong attitudes that amateurs display. I want you to recognize these actions, and if you catch yourself doing some of the ones that I am going to mention, just think about it more and stop doing them. Because I have worked with junior and experienced compliance officers, I feel like I have seen it all. Listen and see if you recognize any of these behaviors, attitudes, or mistakes in yourself or the people around you.
