Contemporary society is a society ruled by law, and market economy is also a economy ruled by law. Only by combining their own operating behavior with external laws and regulations can enterprises achieve rapid, stable and high-quality development. This is why building an available enterprise compliance system is essential for every enterprise. The concept of
enterprise compliance originated in the United States from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. Driven by the industrial revolution , many enterprises developed rapidly. However, these developments were based on the indifference to rules and the exploitation of consumers and workers. Because of this, the development of these enterprises brought about very sharp social problems. Therefore, the United States passed legislation and establishment of public institutions to interfere in the private economy, requiring enterprises to operate legally and in compliance. Under such a broad context, the concept of corporate return has gradually entered people's vision.
. From the 1950s to the 1960s, with the further acceleration of the economic development of modern society, capital grew further, and at the same time, modern management and organizational culture have been born. The dispute over whether a compliance management system should be established within an enterprise has gradually begun to be brought to the table.
Since the KMAC Act of 1996, the call for turning corporate compliance issues into internal governance issues in the form of legal judgments has become increasingly strong. At this point, companies have gradually become the main body of compliance construction.
In recent years, my country's economy has entered a stage of rapid development. At the same time, my country firmly implements the basic strategy of "the rule of law is the best business environment" and promotes corporate compliance management compliance operations.
Since the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission issued the "Notice on Carrying out Pilot Work for the Construction of Compliance Management Systems in Some Central Enterprises" in 2016, the prelude to the construction of compliance management systems in central enterprises has begun. In 2021, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, in conjunction with many major national departments, included enterprise compliance engineers in the occupational classification ceremony.
As a new profession that runs side by side with lawyers, accountants, auditors, , the main job of an enterprise compliance engineer is to ensure that all business activities of the enterprise meet the requirements. This requirement covers a very wide range, mainly including laws and regulations, industry guidelines and even ethical norms.
The main responsibility of an enterprise compliance engineer is to internalize these external laws into an internal execution management system based on the company's specific operational situation, and standardize the operation of the enterprise by guiding the company's employees' work.
In recent years, with the gradual strategicization of corporate compliance work, more and more companies have extended olive branches to the profession of corporate compliance engineer. At present, the profession still has a talent gap of 9 million waiting to be filled. In order to meet the talent needs of many enterprises, the China Enterprise Evaluation Enterprise Compliance Expert Professional Committee sponsored the Enterprise Compliance Expert Professional Ability Examination.
This examination is a professional ability level examination organized by the China Enterprise Evaluation Association in order to implement the "Notice on Strengthening New Vocational Training" in the "Notice on Accelerating the Development of New Vocational Standards and Orderly Carrying out New Vocational Evaluation".

At the same time, the examination also has the responsibility to promote the regularization and professionalization of the corporate compliance team.
