Sophie Grace regularly publishes articles in Finance Magnates regarding increasing regulatory requirements and the growing power of regulatory bodies, punishments and fines that regulators have been handing out with ever-increasing frequency, as well as analysis and opinion of the regulatory landscape.

In this session, Sophie discusses how you can get a licence, and how you can keep the one you have. She looks at licensing strategies that can be implemented to protect your business from the wrath of regulators, both in terms of the already regulated and those looking for their first license.

Regulation is easier in some places than others, as different jurisdictions have different requirements, but something in common for all jurisdictions is an increasing level of regulation. Sophie gives us a tour of the regulation world, covering Asia, the US, New Zealand, Russia, the UK, Cyprus, Malta, South Africa, Israel and the Middle East, Africa, as well as the relatively 'easy' places such as the Bahamas, the British Virgin Islands, and the Cayman Islands.
