Regulation and Compliance : The Headstrong Blog

Headstrong, an IT domain lead consulting firm with particular expertise in the financial services industry is going public. Not in the usual sense, we will continue to be privately held, but in the sharing of observations sense. Our clients are focused on regulatory change and the implications for compliance and so are we. Since the beginning of the year we have hosted a panel discussion on regulation with industry experts with more expertise and experience than the usual talking heads to tell us what to expect and how it will change the way the industry operates. In addition we have initiated a series of what we call Briefing Notes on Regulation, in which we comment on what we see happening in and to the financial services industry. The feedback we have received has been favorable and that has inspired us to begin a blog to make these commentaries more accessible. We do this with humbleness knowing that there are more commentators out there than is optimal by any measure. For that reason we will post only when we have something to say that we feel has not been said at all or at least has not been said with the emphasis that we believe is deserved.

To give you some idea as to what to expect we are beginning with a few older notes, which we believe still have something to add to the regulatory discussion. These will be distributed over the next few days. We have also included a link to the above-mentioned panel discussion.
