Practical Guidance From Former SEC Examiners on Preparing for and Surviving SEC Examinations

With the SEC continuing to focus on investment adviser compliance, a recent presentation hosted by compliance solutions provider MyComplianceOffice (MCO) and compliance consultant NorthPoint Compliance offered timely and practical guidance on preparing for SEC examinations, the examination process and examination trends. The program was moderated by Stephen Taylor, chief commercial officer at MCO, and featured Victoria Hogan, NorthPoint’s president, and Colleen Montemarano, a NorthPoint consultant, each of whom has more than six years’ experience as an SEC compliance examiner. This article highlights the key insights from the presentation.
