When leadership transitions happen without compliance integration, organizations face operational disruption, regulatory exposure, and cultural misalignment. Traditional HR-led models rarely account for control environment integrity, audit readiness, or risk ownership continuity. This gap leaves compliance officers reacting instead of leading.
