Industry Challenges - Factors contributing to the high incidence of violations include profit-driven motives, lack of professional training among staff, and the rapid development of the industry outpacing regulatory frameworks [7]. - Intense competition within the industry has led some firms to lower service standards and resort to non-compliant practices to attract clients [7]. Recommendations for Improvement - Establishing a correct industry value system and enhancing internal management are crucial for improving service quality and compliance [10]. - Firms should focus on long-term investment principles, strengthen compliance training, and develop robust internal oversight mechanisms to detect and correct violations [10][12]. Regulatory Enhancements - There is a call for stricter regulatory measures and faster responses to violations, including the use of modern technology for dynamic monitoring of firms [12]. - Increased penalties for violations are suggested to create a more effective deterrent against non-compliance [11][12].
