Dodd-Frank Grows Up So Fast
![anthony-malakian-waters anthony-malakian-waters](/sites/default/files/styles/landscape_750_463/public/import/IMG/216/142216/anthony-malakian-waters.jpg.webp?h=373a525f&itok=zNeqXFEa)
The Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, known simply as Dodd–Frank, became the law of the land on July 21, 2010. In the three years since, the regulators have fleshed out what began largely as a skeleton.
Hardly a day goes by that a story doesn't go up on WatersTechnology.com with a regulatory bent to it. And much of that is tied to Dodd–Frank.
In every meeting I have, be it a simple catch-up drink or a discussion about a new product release—whether with a vendor or trading firm—I hear that regulation, and especially Dodd–Frank, is a huge driver of future plans.
So I have a few questions for my loyal readers: First, from a technology standpoint, what has been the toughest part of complying with Dodd–Frank? What do you anticipate being the biggest IT challenge over the next three years? Which tech-related provision looked tough when it was first proposed, but turned out to be less of a challenge than anticipated?
If you have answers to these questions, or just want to discuss the past, present and future of Dodd–Frank, send me an email (anthony.malakian@incisivemedia.com) or give me a call (646-490-3973).
