RegBIOptimizer’s admin panel makes showing compliance a breeze.

The SEC indicated that its first compliance examinations would begin in July-August. How will your firm prove to the SEC that your advisors abided by Reg-BI standards with every client contact? If you work as a team and have a compliance officer, RegBIoptimizer’s admin portal is essential. The Admin panel is ideal for independent RIAs or BDs but excels with scale.

The admin portal shows all the advisors in the firm and all the reports they created to demonstrate “best interest.” If you work as a team, you can utilize the admin portfolio, and then you can set alerts to find transactions that might present compliance risk. If your advisors breach the rules, then the compliance team can receive a notification to step in and correct the situation.

SEC estimated that it would cost over $11K for a single advisor to comply with RegBI. RegBIoptimizer slashes that cost and makes workflow changes a breeze. Click the banner below to request a quick demonstration of its compliance capabilities.
