Navigating Regulatory Language: An A to Z Guide (Second Edition)

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 second edition contains over 100 additional listings, both new and expanded. The new and updated listings are based upon suggestions from readers, conversations during regulatory work- shops and conferences, and from insights gained through considering contemporary regulatory literature.

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.
