REGULATORY COUNSEL, PRACTICALLY APPLIED, IS JUST GOOD BUSINESS.
About AQUEST
The story
so far
Regulatory counsel, practically applied.
Aquest was born out of a desire to inspire firms to find the most efficient path towards regulatory and compliance matters.
​
Delivering training across the industry, we ran master classes, built an online-academy, and ran bespoke training on-site, for regulated firms all over Ireland. Nuts and bolts training has its place, however time and time again, we saw firms acquire a knowledge transfer, only to fall short at resolving how to practically apply it to their unique situation.
​
The beauty with running the same activity over and over again is, that it begs for efficiencies, structure and continuous refinement.
​
Training evolved until Advisory formed. Today Aquest delivers regulatory counsel through Training & Advisory services for Irish Authorised firms.
