compliance is nothing but ACCEPTANCE TESTING.

I dont think it to be an acceptance testing... It is 
related with the IT standards followed by the company and 
it is the testing done to find the deviations from the 
company prescribed standards!

system can be developed in accordance with procedures and 
standards

Testing whether the Testing Tesm is following standards or 
not during testing is called COMPLIANCE TESTING.

one of the types of acceptance testing.
compliance acceptance testing or regulation acceptance 
testing is performed against the regulations which must be 
adhered to,such as governmental,legal or safety regulations

compliance testing also called Conformance testing, is the 
process of verifying whether a product meets the standard 
product specifications it was designed to meet.

Compliance Testing is nothing but Testing(product) whether
the company is following the standards or not.

In software engineering, there is nothing called compliance 
testing. It is a new term that are used nowadays in 
companies. 
As of today turbulent business environment companies should 
adhere to many standards such as ISO standards as well as 
may federal regulations such as FDA, HIPPA,SOX. The product 
of those companies should adhere and implement those 
standard and regulation. As a result during the development 
process developers should verify that the products 
successfully implement requirement of government by 
conducting the compliance test.

The term Compliance testing might be new to Software 
Testing but this is not new to Software Industry.As 
Sawalfak said Compliacne Testing means whether prouct is 
adhering the rules or regulations of Independent 
Organaziations such as Federal Buerau ,SEC (Securities 
Exchnage Commision),ISO ,HIPPA.

Here is one example for this type of testing: 

As per HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and 
Accountability Act)protected health information held by 
covered entities" (generally, health care clearinghouses, 
employer sponsored health plans, health insurers, and 
medical service providers that engage in certain 
transactions) should not reveal to anybody other than 
Individual.As part of this entities while sending any 
reports to the individual trough mail will mask or decrypt  
the  the SSN(Social Secuirty Number)to protect the privacy 
of patient .
