2019 Cross-Industry Chief Compliance Officer Salary Survey 3

Introduction


About This Report

The 2019 Cross-Industry Chief Compliance Officers Salary Survey is another important service provided by the Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics & Health Care Compliance Association (SCCE & HCCA). The information contained in this report offers salary and compensation data for individuals working in the compliance profession. The report is designed to allow organizations and individuals to compare their data with those of their peers. The results throughout this report are presented for both the total sample of survey respondents, and for specific segments within the sample, to allow organizations to more easily compare its own data to the results of individuals with similar characteristics. In addition to the total sample, the individual segments reported throughout include the following:

• Percentage of Company’s Legal and Regulatory Risk Areas the Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) Is Involved in • Number of Employees in the Compliance and Ethics Group Managed • Number of Employees in Organization as a Whole • Annual Revenues of the Organization as a Whole • Number of Direct Reports to the CCO • Annual Compliance Budget Managed • Number of Employees in Portion of the Organization That CCO Runs Compliance for • Annual Revenues in Portion of the Organization That CCO Runs Compliance for • Number of Countries in Which Compliance Is Managed • Number of Years Managing the Compliance Department • Years in Compliance Profession • Certifications Held • Type of Organization • Type of Industry • Number of Compliance Program Elements the CCO Is Involved in • Geographic Region • Gender • Age • Highest Level of Education • Contract Status • Amount of Bonus Eligible • Basis of Bonus • Presence of Severance Clause in One’s Contract

The goal of this survey is to report the salaries of chief compliance officers for an organization or division, versus leaders of specialized areas of compliance. To capture that broader audience, CCOs responsible for less than 26% of an organization’s legal and regulatory risk are not included in the results reported here. Please note that the salary and other data published in this report should be considered guidelines rather than absolute standards. Even organizations that are similar on some characteristics, such as location, size, industry, etc., will differ in other ways, making it difficult to draw exact comparisons. In the end, results in this report that are different from one’s own experience are most likely an indication that other factors are at play. Note that a minimum of five responses was required to show data for any question, from any individual segments. Also note that results based on relatively small responses (e.g., fewer than 25) are subject to higher levels of statistical error and should be interpreted with caution.


This study was conducted for SCCE & HCCA by Fondulas Strategic Research LLC, an independent professional survey research firm located in East Sandwich, MA. The company specializes in surveys for trade and professional associations, including surveys measuring trends in salary levels over time and employee attitudes. SCCE & HCCA are proud to present the enclosed insights into the salary levels in the compliance industry. We wish to thank the professionals who submitted data for the study. Your support was essential in making this study a success. Survey Methodology

In June 2019, an email invitation was sent to approximately 50,000 individuals that make up SCCE& HCCA’s database. In total, 2,898 completed online submissions were received by mid-September. Of the 2,898 responses, 479 were selected on the basis of the following criteria:

• The chief compliance officer worked for a non-healthcare provider • The chief compliance officer was responsible for at least 26% of an organization’s legal and regulatory risk

Fondulas Strategic Research maintains strict confidentiality standards in the research it conducts. For example, all data that could potentially identify individual respondents (name, organization, etc.) are stripped from the survey data and replaced with an identifying number. In addition, all results were checked, using both automated and manual processes, for internal consistency and accuracy. Final results were tabulated by Fondulas Strategic Research, and the report was completed in October 2019.

Definitions

Average (mean): the arithmetic average obtained by adding the individual values for all responses to a particular question and dividing by the total number answering; a measure of central value that can be distorted by extreme high or low values.

Median: a measure of central value that is not affected by extreme values; calculated by arranging all responses in numerical order and selecting the value that falls exactly in the middle, with half higher and half lower.

25th Percentile: when responses are ordered from lowest to highest, the lower quartile is the response 25% from the bottom. In other words, 75% of the responses are higher than this measure.

75th Percentile: when responses are ordered from the lowest to highest, the upper quartile is the response 25% from the top. In other words, 25% of the responses are higher than this measure.

2019 Cross-Industry Staff Salary Survey


Introduction


About This Report

The 2019 Cross-Industry Staff Salary Survey is another important service provided by the Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics & Health Care Compliance Association (SCCE & HCCA). The information contained in this report offers salary and compensation data for individuals working in the compliance profession. The report is designed to allow organizations and individuals to compare their data with those of their peers. The results throughout this report are presented for both the total sample of survey respondents, and for specific segments within the sample, to allow organizations to more easily compare its own data to the results of individuals with similar characteristics. In addition to the total sample, the individual segments reported throughout include the following:

• Title/level • Number of Employees in Organization as a Whole • Number of Employees in the Portion of the Organization That the Compliance Program Oversees • Annual Revenues of the Organization as a Whole • Annual Revenues of the Portion of the Organization That the Compliance Program Oversees • Number of Employees in the Compliance and Ethics Group • Annual Compliance Budget • Number of Employees in the Compliance Portion of the Organization • Number of Direct Reports to the Individual • Annual Revenues in Compliance Portion of the Organization • Number of Countries in Which Compliance Is Managed • Number of Years In the Compliance Department • Years in Compliance Profession • Certifications Held • Type of Organization • Amount of Company's Legal and Regulatory Risk Areas Compliance Department is Responsbile for Managing • Type of Industry • Number of Compliance Program Elements the Individual Is Involved in • Geographic Region • Gender • Age • Highest Level of Education • Contract Status • Presence of Severance Clause in One’s Contract

Please note that the salary and other data published in this report should be considered guidelines rather than absolute standards. Even organizations that are similar on some characteristics, such as location, size, industry, etc., will differ in other ways, making it difficult to draw exact comparisons. In the end, results in this report that are different from one’s own experience are most likely an indication that other factors are at play. Note that a minimum of five responses was required to show data for any question, from any individual segments. Also note that results based on relatively small responses (e.g., fewer than 25) are subject to higher levels of statistical error and should be interpreted with caution. This study was conducted for SCCE & HCCA by Fondulas Strategic Research LLC, an independent professional survey research firm located in East Sandwich, MA. The company specializes in surveys for trade and professional associations, including surveys measuring trends in salary levels over time and employee attitudes. SCCE & HCCA are proud to present the enclosed insights into the salary levels in the compliance industry. We wish


to thank the professionals who submitted data for the study. Your support was essential in making this study a success.

Survey Methodology

In June 2019, an email invitation was sent to approximately 50,000 individuals that make up SCCE& HCCA’s database. In total, 2,898 completed online submissions were received by mid-September. Of the 2,898 responses, 920 worked for a non-healthcare provider organization and were not a Chief Compliance Officer. This report is based solely on this group. Fondulas Strategic Research maintains strict confidentiality standards in the research it conducts. For example, all data that could potentially identify individual respondents (name, organization, etc.) are stripped from the survey data and replaced with an identifying number. In addition, all results were checked, using both automated and manual processes, for internal consistency and accuracy. Final results were tabulated by Fondulas Strategic Research, and the report was completed in October 2019.

Definitions

Average (mean): the arithmetic average obtained by adding the individual values for all responses to a particular question and dividing by the total number answering; a measure of central value that can be distorted by extreme high or low values. Median: a measure of central value that is not affected by extreme values; calculated by arranging all responses in numerical order and selecting the value that falls exactly in the middle, with half higher and half lower. 25th Percentile: when responses are ordered from lowest to highest, the lower quartile is the response 25% from the bottom. In other words, 75% of the responses are higher than this measure. 75th Percentile: when responses are ordered from the lowest to highest, the upper quartile is the response 25% from the top. In other words, 25% of the responses are higher than this measure.
