Imagine you are an intern at a law firm and the attorney you work for has been tasked with creating presentation to a potential client that is creating a crowdfunding site. The client is interested in understanding the regulatory compliance issues he is facing and wants to know if your firm is knowledgeable.
Your boss plans to make a broad presentation of the firm’s services that includes a focus on financial regulatory compliance. She has asked you prepare a few slides that summarize the relevant regulations that govern the client’s business and how the regulations are likely to impact the client’s business operations, which includes a real-world example. She would also like your recommendation on the single most important compliance measure that the client’s business should consider as it is starting operations.

Create a 5–6 slide PowerPoint presentation (with speaker’s notes) that will become part of the presentation described in the scenario. Your work should be professional and achieve the following with the client in mind:
- Describe your choice of the financial regulation that is most impactful to business operations (from the resources in the Preparation section) and justify its importance using examples to illustrate.
- Describe the most profound change to crowdfunding business operations that was a direct consequence of your chosen financial regulation. Provide a real-world example.
- Recommend a critically important measure or action that the company should take to assure regulatory compliance. Justify your choice. (One approach that might be worthwhile to consider would be to explore businesses in this sector that have been severely penalized for violations in a specific operation or area, but you are encouraged to choose your own approach).
Be sure your assignment meets the following requirements:
- Resources: Include at least four citations to support your writing. Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. Most references will likely come from the sources listed in the preparation section.
- Length: 5–6 PowerPoint slides (not including title and reference slides) that would accompany an approximately 10-minute oral presentation.
- Speaker’s notes: Prepare detailed speaker’s notes describing items on each slide so that the viewer can accurately interpret the deeper meanings and intentions that would have been conveyed orally. Support your claims, arguments, and conclusions with credible evidence from two current, scholarly or professional sources.
- Visuals: Create PowerPoint visuals that are easy to read and interpret. Use colors, fonts, and formatting and other design principles that make the information clear and generally add to the aesthetics of the presentation.
