Regulatory Compliance: Stay informed about changing regulations.

Are you creating a culture of compliance?

Nurturing a culture of compliance can help firms meet the standards set forth by regulators. There may be additional benefits to embracing compliance, too, including:

  • Enhancing your firm's reputation and brand with clients, prospects, and business partners
  • Making your firm more attractive to potential partners or acquirers, who may dig into your compliance procedures as part of the due diligence process
  • Helping with recruitment efforts as potential new advisors for your firm review your compliance history

Consider the following steps to help make compliance work for you:

  • 1

    Get senior leadership support to set the right tone and encourage a collaborative approach to partnering with compliance.

  • 2

    Emphasize the importance of hiring the right compliance talent, as well as educating and training advisors and staff.

  • 3

    Use robust technology for high volume and repetitive functions to streamline processes; free up time for advisors and staff for higher-value activities.

  • 4

    Ensure that compliance continuously engages other functions, such as operations and sales.

  • 5

    Communicate regularly about compliance via internal newsletters, webinars, and in-person meetings.
