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
.
