Navigating the Regulatory Landscape with Expertise
National Regulatory Services (NRS) was re-established as a trading name of Rawlins Regulatory Limited in 2024 to build on the success and systems of Compliance Wizard Limited which is owned by by award-winning compliance specialist Gordon McMurray, founder of NRS Regulatory Services Ltd (which traded as National Regulatory Services in the UK). He has over 30 years of international regulatory experience at the coalface - as a compliance officer, consultant and investigator. So the methods we use are very much tried and tested.
What does forgotten is that the FCA is a proportionate regulator, different size firms even operating in the same fields have very different requirements or expectations from the FCA. We aim to provide resource and solutions which reflect the regulatory needs of the firm.
ComplianceWizard is about one thing only - making life easier for compliance officers.
NRS in its new guise is is owned by Simon Hebb, an experienced Compliance Officer and Investment professional who has worked with Gordon since 2010.
Alongside the consultancy and support services you expect from a compliance consultancy we also offer Compliance Wizard.
It dawned on Gordon that many of the clients he helped to obtain FCA authorisation at NRS were growing more mature and some were ready to move to the next stage either in the growth of their business or in taking compliance work back in-house. To help clients make this jump, he decided to make available online the very documents used by the professional compliance consultants at NRS originally.
There have been many changes in the regulatory world over the years. We continue to be faced with ever-developing rules based on common themes - protecting client assets, treating customers fairly, being clear and transparent on fees and charges and the like. More is coming with the fallout from Brexit, the Edinburgh Reforms and more recently the Consumer Duty.
At NRS, we keep on top of it all with a pragmatic, proportional and bespoke offering.
We can also guide you through your new firm authorisation, or variations to add new permissions. Other services such as monitoring and consultancy are also available.
