What compliance news sources and publications do you follow?

I'm trying to build a curated list of reliable compliance news sources, industry publications, and thought leadership content. There's so much noise out there that it's hard to separate signal from marketing.

What are your go-to sources for staying current on regulatory changes, enforcement actions, and compliance best practices?

My daily reading list:

Regulatory primary sources:

• FinCEN advisories and enforcement actions
• FATF publications and mutual evaluation reports
• OCC, FRB, FDIC enforcement actions
• EU Official Journal (for new regulations/directives)

Industry publications:

• ACAMS moneylaundering.com (daily newsletter)
• Compliance Week
• Global Investigations Review (GIR)
• Thomson Reuters Regulatory Intelligence

Podcasts:

• ACAMS podcasts
• The Compliance Podcast Network

LinkedIn: Follow people at FATF, FinCEN, and the major law firms' compliance practices. The commentary on enforcement actions is often more insightful than the press releases themselves.

I'd add RUSI's Centre for Financial Crime & Security Studies — they publish excellent research on financial crime topics that goes much deeper than typical news coverage. Their work on trade-based money laundering and sanctions evasion is particularly good.

Also, the Wolfsberg Group publications are essential reading for correspondent banking and cross-border compliance standards.

A few sources we'd add to the mix:

Regulatory feeds — Go straight to the source. Subscribe to email alerts from FinCEN, OCC, FDIC, and SEC. They're not curated, but you'll never miss a major rule change or enforcement action. The OCC bulletin list in particular is essential reading for bank compliance officers.

Industry associations — ACAMS publishes a really useful weekly digest. The IIF (Institute of International Finance) puts out excellent regulatory roundups if you're in banking. Both filter signal from noise better than trying to monitor everything yourself.

Podcasts — The ACAMS "CompliChat" series is pretty good for keeping current during your commute. The Wolters Kluwer compliance podcast covers regulatory developments with enough depth to be useful.

The key is creating a routine. We allocate the first 30 minutes of Monday mornings to scanning the week's regulatory updates. It prevents the "I missed that rule change" problem that catches a lot of teams off guard.
