    I've found that always acting as a fiduciary, even when it is not required, prevents ethical conflicts from arising, but an ongoing issue I face comes from my clients who text me rather than using my official financial planning email. My BD needs to be able to track client communication, so I end up either copying the text and emailing it to myself and then responding or calling the client and telling them I can't conduct business via text other than confirming appointment times or other administrative functions. With the SEC looking for this in audits, it is a big concern.
