FIA works tirelessly to inform regulators around the world of better ways to approach problems and implement laws. FIA is not only an advocacy organization but a solutions organization, developing standards and best practices; implementing operational efficiencies; or offering online compliance training. These solutions are focused on the needs of our members.
