Every figure on this page is computed from the inputs entered, by the method stated below it. Attestvio publishes no rule text, no control list, no scoring scale and no benchmark gap rate: the minutes, the rates, the scales and the scopes are yours, and the defaults are a worked example to replace with your own figures.
Regulatory compliance consulting firms sell the same thing to a two-adviser RIA as to a regional bank, a programme, and the difference between the two engagements is decided in the first meeting by what the client brings. A firm that walks in to a blank page scopes a programme from its own template; a firm that walks in to an obligations register with its controls counted, its evidence load worked and its reviewers' capacity known scopes the gap between that and the examiner's expectation, which is a smaller, cheaper and better engagement. This guide walks how to choose among regulatory compliance consulting firms on the evidence each would leave behind, and the free obligations register sheet on this site works the load the firm should be sized against, with no account.

Bring the register, not the brochure
Count the obligations, the controls under each and the evidence items each control needs, and put the reviewer hours beside them. The register sheet returns the load and the months to a full attestation. A firm that can read that sheet and say which obligations it would take off the reviewers' hands is a firm scoped to your programme; one that starts from its own framework is scoped to its own.
Ask what the firm leaves behind
The engagement ends; the register stays. Ask every firm whether the obligations, controls, evidence and attestations it builds are handed back in a form the programme keeps updating without the firm, in a spreadsheet at minimum. A firm whose deliverable lives in its own portal has sold a subscription to itself; the paid plan on this site keeps the register under the client's own name and exports it.
Price against the reviewer hours saved
A firm's fee is worth what it takes off the reviewers: the evidence items it collects, the controls it tests, the audit days it absorbs. The register sheet gives the hours; the audit scope sheet gives the days; the firm's fee divided by the hours it removes is the rate the programme is really paying, and it is the number to compare firms on.

Regulatory compliance consulting firms: common questions
How do I choose between regulatory compliance consulting firms?
On what each leaves behind and on what it takes off your reviewers, priced per hour removed. Bring the obligations register sheet's figures to the first meeting; a firm that can scope against them is scoped to your programme.
What does a regulatory compliance consulting firm cost?
Firms quote after scoping and this site publishes no figure for them. The number that matters is the fee against the reviewer hours and audit days the engagement removes, which the free sheets on this site work from your own programme.
Does Attestvio replace the consulting firm?
No. Attestvio works the arithmetic of the programme and keeps the register, evidence and attestations; it gives no view on what a regulation requires. The firm's judgement is the thing you buy; the sheets make sure it is bought against the right numbers.
Will it do what you need for Regulatory compliance consulting firms?
Tell us what your programme needs and we will tell you straight whether Attestvio Pro does it today, whether it is coming, or whether you need a governance platform or counsel instead. A person reads these and replies.
