I’m trying out a new compliance conference this fall: the NRS 29th Annual Fall Investment Adviser & Broker-Dealer Compliance Conference.
I have to admit that I’m attending mostly because they asked me to speak. My session is on Issues on Private Fund Management on Day Two.
One of the challenges of staying up-to-date on compliance is learning about the new requirements as they come into effect. The second challenge is learning how your peers are interpreting the new requirements and putting them into effect at their organiztions. A compliance conference is a great way help with both of those challenges.
The NRS Conference is tied to my designation as an Investment Adviser Certified Compliance Professional. NRS is the organization that runs the certification program. With the designation comes continuing education requirements. (I have met most of my requirements at non-NRS events.) Attending the conference will help also help me finish off my requirements for the year.
