Where’s your stuff? In a file room? Off-site storeroom? In the cloud? Are you still shuffling paper? Or glued to your computer screen scrolling through file after file after file?

The regulators are coming. Like the SEC, CFTC, and the rest of the regulatory alphabet, they even warn you by posting their actions and plan of “attack” on their websites. Then…they sneak up on you.

Shhhhh. The regulators are at the door. Shhhhh.

Take the Security and Exchange Commission, for example. On its website it posts out loud that “All SEC investigations are conducted privately. Facts are developed to the fullest extent possible through informal inquiry, interviewing witnesses, examining brokerage records, reviewing trading data, and…other methods.” When a formal order of investigation is issued, SEC Enforcement Division staff may “compel witnesses by subpoena to testify and produce books, records, and other relevant documents.”

Will you be ready…then?
