Regulations are a part of every entreprise
Regulatory impact: Products, services, and suppliers are subject to a range of rules, policies, processes, etc.
You may be subject to a range of rules and policies from federal, state, and local (City, County, Municipality, etc).
Where begin to identify some of the regulators that may impact you
- Review your industry report (each of you should have located one) – there is often a section on regulators and their impact. Some industries are HIGHLY regulated.
- Key Associations/Organizations will often track regulations which impact their businesses.
Tip: Look for their advocacy page. This often reveals current issues/legislation/policies/rules that are impacting the industry.
Tip: Look for a section called reports or library. Did the organization create its own report/research on the impact of a regulation?
