Laserfiche Unveils White Paper on Impact of Dodd-Frank on Financial Advisors
ECM helps financial advisors increase profitability in the face of massive regulatory change LOS ANGELES, CA (Laserfiche) - September 30, 2010 - Laserfiche is pleased to announce that it has published a new white paper titled “What Financial Advisors Need to Know about the Dodd-Frank Act.” The educational guide explores how enterprise content management (ECM) software can help financial advisors adapt to the sweeping regulatory changes outlined in the Dodd-Frank Act. These changes include: - More state oversight for advisors with less than $100 million in assets under management
- Increased scrutiny from the SEC for larger advisory firms
- Increased supervision from FINRA
- Fiduciary standard for broker-dealers
- Additional disclosure and reporting
“The Dodd-Frank Act will have a profound impact on financial advisors’ costs, compliance programs and productivity. But far too many advisors are unaware of all the implications for their business,” said Chris Wacker, executive vice president at Laserfiche. “We wrote this paper to bring clarity to the market, and to show advisors that with the right technology, they can increase profitability even in the face of massive regulatory change.” The white paper highlights the most relevant parts of the reform bill for financial advisors and provides an overview of the many ways that ECM software can help them adapt, including streamlining audits, simplifying recordkeeping and automating the disclosure process. “Successful financial advisors across the country choose Laserfiche to decrease the amount of time and money they devote to compliance,” said Wacker. “They also benefit from powerful security features that protect confidential client information, imaging capabilities that enable them to eliminate paper waste and workflow functionality that allows them to improve efficiency across the firm.” Click here to download the white paper.
