Abstract

Compliance roles remain one of the fastest growing legal professions undergoing a profound transformation as the compliance function itself adapts to the requirements of a fast-paced regulatory and business environment. The purpose of this study is identification of current approaches to the implementation of the compliance function through an analysis of relevant job offers and positions in different types of organizations in the Polish market in 2023 and 2024. The broad diversity of entities covered allows for a comparison of the evolution of compliance function in different types of organizations in financial or non-financial industries, domestic or international operations and/or setting up a shared services center. The secondary objective is to provide guidance to both educational institutions and employment candidates and suport them in aligning skills and competences with current and future market requirements.
