We asked our community: "𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭'𝐬 𝐛𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬?" Keep the discussion focussed on scope. It’s difficult to get clients away from unit pricing - day rates. A top client of ours some years ago asked to quote for something they thought would take one “VP” level person a week to do. When we explored scope they realised it was a bigger job - 4 weeks they said. We said, very politely, if you have an employee who can do that in 4 weeks you should give it to them. They came back and we’ve been working with consistently for about 3 years now. When you’re confident in your product good clients see it. There’s always some negotiation of course, but don’t artificially inflate your price in preparation for a negotiation. Everyone can see that from miles away, and they talk.

Compliance Circle is all about the people. The experts. Thank you Christina Rea-Baxter, Esq. Thank you Andrew Arginovski Thank you Leonid Komov Thank you Simon Tweddle Thank you Joshua Deeks, AICA., Thank you Dr Chris Stears Progression at the scale we're looking at doesn't happen in isolation. Bringing the best minds together might present a challenge, particularly when they operate in the same markets, but Compliance Circle is building a unique solution. Having Member Meetups like this provides us with the time to step aside from our day to day to look at the biggest issues as a collective. Our future collaboration will have a great impact on the markets and businesses we serve. Much more to come.

𝐀𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝟏 (𝐔𝐊): I get a daily updates in my feed from the FCA, and the weekly one. We are also associate members of 3 trade associations that provide periodic updates. I spend about 30 mins a day on LinkedIn looking for updates too, a number of my 1st connections post updates regularly. 𝐀𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝟐 (𝐔𝐒): Besides paid subscription services, I would recommend the following: 1. Subscribe to alerts from the applicable regulatory bodies, including consent orders or enforcement actions. 2. Join a trade group or Compliance Circle to share ideas and updates amongst your peers. 3. Check for the latest RegTech platforms that may help track or feed updates from reg feeds. 4. Attend webinars and conferences. 5. Use Social Media like LinkedIn for posts and updates first thing in the morning in the time zone of your industry and region. 6. Ensure you have a good regulatory compliance attorney on speed-dial or to follow for their newsletters. Lastly, consider hiring a Compliance Consultant who would be your designated regulatory change tracker using all of the above. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐮𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬?
