How are local financial firms preparing for the upcoming SEC annual compliance reviews?

The SEC recently highlighted issues such as missed reviews, outdated policies, and undocumented fixes in their latest Risk Alert. It’s crucial to ensure that your IT systems effectively support your compliance programs. I'm curious to hear how others are gearing up for their next review.

Do you use compliance software, hire consultants, or do you do it all in-house?

What are some common causes of closing delays in real estate transactions?

I've noticed that title issues often lead to significant delays. It's interesting to consider how early detection of potential problems can impact the entire process. Would love to hear your experiences and how you've managed to navigate these challenges.

It was great to attend the Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corp.Annual Meeting yesterday and enjoyed hearing Gov. Shapirospeak.

It was cool to see the level of energy, investment, and leadership focused on the future of the Lehigh Valley. Events like this are a good reminder that real economic growth takes a lot of people pulling in the same direction.

For businesses, growth also means being ready for it — with the right infrastructure and cybersecurity in place to support what comes next. It's something I think about every day serving companies right here in the Valley.

Glad I had the chance to be there.
