Preparing for and Navigating SEC Examinations

Examinations play an integral role in the SEC’s supervision of investment advisers. An ACA Group program reviewed the examination landscape, including selection of advisers for examination; the examination process; interviews and document production; interactions with SEC staff; and self-reporting. The speakers also offered tips for preparing for, and successfully navigating, an exam.
