State-Owned Enterprises (SOE) in China are now required to establish a senior management position of Chief Compliance Officer

According to the Administrative Measuresreleased by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (SASAC), since October 1, 2022, SOEs (state-owned enterprises) in China are now required to establish the post of chief compliance officer. This role is specifically assigned to promote a corporation's effective compliance management system, as well as to enhance its level of oversight and accountability.

Apart from impacting around 100 central enterprises, the Measuresis expected to reach tens of thousands of more centrally-administered subsidiaries as well as lower-level SOEs. In the Chinese assessment industry, policy-driven compliance is also sweeping the credentialing market, resulting in a foreseeable trend in which related certification programs will experience unprecedented growth over the next few years.

China recognized 18 new professions in 2021, including Compliance Officer

Though required in SOEs today, Compliance Officer was not yet an official profession until March 2021. Last year, the Chinese Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security (MOHRSS)announced the addition of 18 new professions to boost domestic graduate employment and entrepreneurship. Alongside such positions as robotics engineering technician and data security engineer, Compliance Officer was declared an emerging post to engage in corporate governance, legal affairs, risk management, and internal security.

Nowadays, Compliance Officers are increasingly visibleand perceived as necessary rolesin many industries, just like corporate lawyers, accountants, and auditors.
