REGULATORY ADVICE.
There isn't enough time in the world for us to count all the rules that apply to financial services and credit businesses.
There are Acts, Regulations, Regulatory Guides, Class Orders, ASIC Relief, Cases, Industry Guidelines, Tribunal Decisions, No Action Letters, Info Sheets, Consultation Papers, Codes of Practice... Aaaaagh - enough!
The Fold’s regulatory lawyers have a unique capability for understanding and managing the interplay between your commercial objectives and the regulatory requirements that apply to financial services businesses.
SOME OF THE WAYS WE HELP OUR CLIENTS.
- Navigating the day-to-day requirements of AFSL or ACL
- Complying with AML/CTF
- Complying with privacy, trade practices and spam legislation
- Implementing compliance policies and procedures
The Fold's Manuals
Realising what a challenge it is for businesses to determine what regulation applies to them, we developed The Fold’s Manuals. These business operations manuals synthesise all the rules into guidance, policies and procedures that you can follow.
Our clients call them 'the bible'. We’re not expecting to be walking on water any time soon, but we do know that if you customise them for your business, you’ll have taken ownership of compliance and have a pragmatic compliance management system that will satisfy ASIC.
