Regulatory Support

Picture

Beyond compliance

As a regulated financial institution, you know that deposit insurance and government support is critical to growing your business. You are also keenly aware of the growing cost and complexity of demonstrating compliance with an increasing array of regulatory requirements.

As a regulator, you must be ready to perform effective supervision in a cost- and resource-effective manner. You also know that your regulatory activities must cover an ever-widening span of significant activities with unique risk profiles.

I practice a collaborative approach to regulation, where I work with regulators and regulated institutions determine how to maximize the effectiveness of regulation while minimizing the cost and complexity of supervision.
