Note
A plural that only some meanings of compliance can take. It fits the countable ones: separate acts of complying, measured values of how far a loaded structure flexes, or a patient's adherence to a treatment plan counted case by case. The state of being compliant, a yielding temperament and the business department all stay singular, so a firm's compliance department takes no plural.
