Federal and state regulations that govern different aspects of corporate business have existed for a long time, but the corporate scandals of the past few years have created a compliance hype that is affecting many companies, from unknown start-ups to multinational corporations. This study analyzes the experience of a midtier investment management firm in implementing a compliance solution provided by Permabit in partnership with CommVault. The subject of this case study, a midtier investment management fund ("the firm"), faced the challenge of meeting SEC 17a-4 regulations, which establish retention policies for brokers, dealers, and Exchange members.
