RA / IA compliance
A clear route into
regulated research.
Structured support for applicants establishing a research-analyst practice, from early readiness review through registration materials and the compliance framework that follows.
THE APPROACH
The work begins by understanding what will be published or communicated, who will be responsible for research activity and how the practice is intended to operate. That early map helps distinguish the proposed activity and identify the records, disclosures and processes that need attention before an application is prepared.
We then organise the application information and supporting materials into a practical workstream. The focus is on accuracy, consistency and a clear evidence trail—not on producing a generic filing pack detached from the way the business will work.
After the registration stage, we help translate the framework into day-to-day controls around research reports, disclosures, communications, grievance handling and record retention. The precise requirements depend on the applicant and activity, so each setup is reviewed on its own facts.

A research-analyst practice needs its research activity, public communications, disclosures and internal recordkeeping to remain aligned after registration.
- 01A confidential readiness discussion focused on the intended research activity, applicant structure and practical launch plan.
- 02A document and responsibility map showing the information, approvals and internal owners needed for the next stage.
- 03A coordinated application workstream with clear drafts, supporting-document requests and review points.
- 04A proportionate operating pack covering the policies, disclosures, registers and review routines relevant to the proposed practice.
