Business jargon explained in about 90 seconds: the real definition, where you will hear it, and the pop-culture version that makes it stick. Finance to Operations, all eight departments. Compliance means a business following the laws, regulations, industry standards and internal policies that apply to it, and keeping the evidence to show it. It covers areas like data privacy, anti-money laundering, workplace safety, financial reporting and anti-bribery. It is also the name of the team that sets up the checks, trains staff and handles audits. Overhead is the ongoing cost of running a business that cannot be tied directly to a specific product, service or customer. Think rent, utilities, insurance, accounting, IT and management salaries. These costs exist whether you sell a lot or a little, so they have to be covered by the profit from everything the business sells. Procurement is the process a company uses to buy the goods and services it needs, from laptops and raw materials to software and consultants. It covers finding and choosing suppliers, negotiating price and terms, getting approval, placing orders and making sure what arrives matches what was agreed. The goal is good value with control and a clear paper trail.Corporate, translated.
