Regulatory Round-Up December 2025

December Round-Up: Wrapping Up 2025 & Preparing for a Clean Start to 2026

As we close out 2025, True West is focused on helping firms finish strong, tighten documentation, and enter 2026 with confidence. This month’s newsletter highlights the progress we’ve made together this year — from rolling out practical guidance on disclosure updates and cybersecurity to expanding CCO tools and delivering monthly compliance education tied to our 2025 Trail Guide.

To support your year-end responsibilities, our December CCO Tool is a Regulation S-P Compliance Checklist designed to help firms shore up privacy policies, evaluate vendor oversight, and prepare for examiners' increasing focus on data governance.

We’re also spotlighting conflicts of interest, an area that continues to draw SEC attention. This month’s training breaks down core conflict types, commonly missed issues, and practical steps to integrate conflict reviews into your annual compliance cycle.

For state-registered IARs, a quick reminder: IAR Continuing Education is due by December 31. Don’t let year-end sneak up.

If you’re ready to close out your program cleanly and ride into 2026 with clarity, don’t miss this month’s full round-up.
