Regulatory Compliance
Regulatory compliance involves ensuring that specific enterprises adhere to guidelines established by government bodies, such as the SEC in the United States. These guidelines aim to safeguard investors, foster consumer trust, promote transparency, efficiency, and fairness in markets, and mitigate financial crime and systemic risks. Financial services organizations are subject to regulations governing various aspects including customer communications, advertising, management of client assets, customer understanding and suitability, conflicts of interest, customer transactions, capital requirements, and more.
