In this episode of Foster Denovo Talks, we speak with Paul Hurley, Director of Compliance at Foster Denovo. Paul’s career spans an extraordinary journey: thirteen years in the military, over a decade as a financial adviser and a further two decades shaping the compliance function that underpins the business today.
Paul talks candidly about how he unexpectedly moved into compliance, how the landscape has changed from rule-based regulation to today’s outcome-based model, and why vulnerability and consumer protection are now central to every decision advisers make.
He also explains why small firms struggle with regulatory change, the realities of acquisitions from a compliance perspective and what the future may hold for the industry, from crypto products to greater scrutiny of ongoing reviews.
