Compliance Mandatory Training

Compliance mandatory training lists exist in most organisations and very few can say who decided what went on them.

Usually it accreted. Something went wrong and a module was added. A client asked for it. A previous manager thought it sensible. Nobody has removed anything.

The consequence is a list nobody can defend. Some items are genuinely required by law or a licence. Others are reasonable steps toward a broader duty. Others are habit.

Naming an owner fixes it. One person accountable for the list, who records against each item what makes it mandatory, whether that is legislation, a licence, a funding condition, a contract or your own risk assessment.

That record is also the thing that lets you remove an item later without anybody worrying about what it might have been protecting.
