Webcast

In the second of seven webcasts in the series "Building a Gold Standard Compliance Program," we focus on drafting policies and procedures. This includes identifying current processes, assigning responsibility, determining where records should be maintained, and level of detail. We will discuss standard operating procedures versus desk procedures, including what to put in your manual versus what to leave out. We will tackle setting up lines of responsibility, segregation of duties and other essential controls for an effective compliance program. Finally, we will talk about what the SEC expects to see in a compliance manual. 

Join us on Wednesday, August 23 at 11:00 AM ET as we outline the formalization stage of developing a compliance program that meets the requirements of Rule 206(4)-7 of the Advisers Act.
