Washington, DC - [February 26, 2026] - LawVisory PLLC, a leading provider of regulatory compliance solutions for Registered Investment Advisers (RIAs), today released new guidance outlining the critical signs that indicate when an RIA may require a comprehensive compliance review. The firm also detailed what advisers can expect throughout the review process, underscoring the importance of staying ahead of evolving regulatory obligations.

In an environment defined by heightened regulatory scrutiny and rapid industry change, maintaining a strong and adaptive compliance program is essential. LawVisory's announcement highlights the most common red flags that suggest an RIA's compliance framework may need evaluation.

Key Signs an RIA Needs a Compliance Review

Frequent Regulatory Changes

Ongoing amendments to financial regulations can leave firms unsure whether existing policies remain compliant. LawVisory advises that any uncertainty or difficulty keeping pace with regulatory updates is a strong indication that a review is needed.

Increased Regulatory Scrutiny

Recent audits, inquiries, or enforcement actions from regulators often reveal deeper systemic issues. A compliance review helps identify root causes and mitigate future risk.

Internal or External Complaints

Client, employee, or third party complaints related to compliance should never be overlooked. These concerns often point to program deficiencies that require immediate attention.

Operational Changes

Significant business developments-including mergers, acquisitions, or new product offerings-can introduce new regulatory obligations. A review ensures compliance aligns with operational growth and transitions.

Staff Turnover in Compliance Roles

High turnover within compliance functions may disrupt critical processes. A review can reestablish consistency and program effectiveness.

Outdated Policies and Procedures

RIAs that have not updated compliance documentation in the past year may unknowingly expose themselves to risk. LawVisory emphasizes the importance of aligning policies with current rules and industry best practices.

Technology and Data Management Issues

With technology playing a central role in compliance operations, issues such as data inaccuracy, cybersecurity gaps, or flawed system integrations signal the need for a structured assessment. As part of today's announcement, LawVisory encourages RIAs to take proactive steps. "Gear Up for Regulatory Success! Elevate Your Compliance Game with LawVisory's SEC Compliance Review. Stay Ahead. Stay Secure."

What RIAs Can Expect from a LawVisory Compliance Review

Documentation Review

The firm conducts a detailed examination of compliance manuals, procedures, client documents, marketing materials, and other relevant records to ensure alignment with regulatory standards.

Risk Assessment

LawVisory evaluates core business activities-from trading practices to data management-to identify potential compliance risks.

Interviews and Observations

Key personnel are interviewed to gauge how policies are executed. Observations of daily operations help identify gaps between written procedures and actual practice.

Gap Analysis

Findings are measured against regulatory requirements and industry benchmarks to pinpoint deficiencies.

Recommendations and Action

Plan RIAs receive a comprehensive report with actionable steps to address areas requiring improvement.
