Supervision of Advisor Compensation and the Advisor Clause Samples

The "Supervision of Advisor Compensation and the Advisor" clause establishes the responsibility for overseeing both the payment arrangements and the professional conduct of the advisor. Typically, this clause outlines which party is tasked with monitoring how the advisor is compensated, ensuring that payments are made in accordance with the agreement, and that the advisor adheres to relevant standards or regulations.
