FLC Regulatory Administration
A familiar scene….
It’s 9:45 on Monday morning and as Chief Compliance Officer of your
firm, you have just settled down to begin reviewing the performance
numbers and disclosures for the new firm advertisements set to print
next week. (Of course you were supposed to have the drafts several weeks
ago for the monthly website update, but the numbers were late, as
usual….)
Now you have to somehow get the review done in time for the ads to print
as well as make sure the website gets updated. In addition, you have
several Board reports to finish this week for the quarterly Board of
Directors meeting which takes place in two weeks. All of this in
addition to your daily compliance reviews, etc. Your assistant is out on
vacation for the next two weeks and you are already short staffed since
your department was downsized last year.
And then it happens…
The receptionist announces FINRA is here. Your firm just went through
an examination six months ago. What could they want now and why
weren’t you notified they were coming?
Everything must be put on hold; the regulators are at your door.
That's why at FLC our goal is to lighten your regulatory burden by
