I don't know about finance but for HIPAA and CCPA, the answer is yes. Is there an accounting equivalent to the yearly, mandatory 20 minute compliance training videos?

Yes, in US fintech there are mandatory courses in anti-money laundering and know your customer laws that programmers are required to take along with everyone else.

I don’t know what exists in the crypto world operating in the Bahamas, but I’m not going to lose a lot of sleep if the FTX director of engineering winds up going to prison for this.
