Compliance officers read laws and rules, check that their company follows them, train employees and write reports. Regulatory affairs managers get drugs and medical devices approved by the government. Financial examiners check that banks follow the rules and stay safe. Business continuity planners make plans so a company can keep running after a storm, fire or cyberattack. It's mostly careful reading, writing and asking questions.
