Navigating Regulatory Language

Navigating Regulatory Language

Navigating Regulatory Language: an A to Z Guide draws upon the author's 30 years' experience as a regulatory practitioner; regulatory manager; regulatory executive; regulatory scholar; regulatory consultant; and regulatory coach and mentor.

Working in the regulatory field has enabled the author to both experience and witness the frustrations of regulatory practitioners, managers, executives, and boards. Many of these frustrations are a direct result of the inability to communicate effectively with one another in a regulatory or enforcement context.  Therefore, this book is an important addition to a regulator's toolkit.

This book is a repository of information facilitating greater consistency in the use of regulatory language - it does not provide a definitive definition of every regulatory word, term, or concept. This book is designed to clarify or narrow issues so that regulators can communicate more effectively and efficiently - as in some instances, simply clarifying or narrowing an issue may be all that is required to enable a more contextualised conversation to take place.

The primary focus, aim, and intent of this book is that it be a resource for collating, clarifying, and creating information - that advances regulatory practice, regulatory delivery, and improves regulatory outcomes.
