With experts from:
Bates Group, eToro, Alviere, and Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP

Bates Group is hosting a webinar to provide practical insights and best practices for managing the state regulatory examination process.

Attend to hear discussions on: 

  • Structured Approach to Examinations
    • Learn why your firm should have an examination plan - even (especially) if you have never been examined before. 
    • Staff assignment and preparation.
    • Analyzing the examination request list.
  • Managing the Examination
    • Best practices for success during the on-site portion of the examination.
    • Tracking and managing requests and meetings.
    • Early issue remediation.
  • Examination-Driven Improvement
    • Viewing the report of examination as an opportunity for improvement rather than just criticism.
    • Creating and executing a remediation plan.
    • Using the examination to build your relationship with your regulators.
