We support municipal advisors throughout the business life cycle, from start-ups needing registration services or a new compliance program to mature businesses looking for help in the ongoing administration, monitoring and testing of their compliance program. We offer senior-level compliance expertise to help you anticipate and navigate risks and ensure compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. We serve a broad range of clients, including traditional dealer and non-dealer municipal advisors, and third-party solicitors.

How We Can Help

With over 275 years of cumulative financial services experience, the Alaric Compliance team has completed more than 100 exams as CCOs, and 500+ reviews and exams as regulators and advisors. Our solutions are tailored to meet the specific needs of our clients and are built on a longstanding foundation of experience and quality control processes.

We have the proven skill set to help municipal advisors test, manage and monitor their compliance programs before issues turn into violations. We can chaperone scheduled or surprise audits, tests and examinations and leverage our proven procedures and technology platform to monitor ongoing activities.
