“With the passing of Dodd-Frank, inspection sweeps of private funds, and a separate asset management unit formed in its Enforcement Division, the SEC has made it clear that the asset management industry is taking precedence,” says Cary Stier, vice chairman, Deloitte LLP and asset management services leader. “Fund managers and their service providers must not only rise to this challenge – they must do so quickly. Deloitte continues to be well-positioned to meet emerging demands while maintaining its tradition of nimble, responsive and customized service. Every client is a priority and right now their priority is meeting the challenges caused by the mercurial regulatory landscape.”
