SEC Announces Compliance Outreach Program Regional Seminars for Investment Adviser and Investment Company Senior Officers

The SEC announced the schedule for its upcoming Compliance Outreach Program regional seminars in several cities around the country for investment adviser and investment company senior officers, including chief compliance officers (CCOs).

The SEC's Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations (OCIE), Division of Investment Management, and Division of Enforcement's Asset Management Unit are jointly sponsoring the regional seminars for investment companies and investment advisers. The seminars highlight areas of focus for compliance professionals. They provide an opportunity for the SEC staff to identify common issues found in related examinations or investigations and discuss industry practices, including how compliance professionals have addressed such matters.


The Compliance Outreach Program was created to promote open communication on mutual fund, investment adviser, and broker-dealer compliance issues. The program, formerly known as the CCOutreach Program, was redesigned in 2011 to include all senior officers, not just CCOs, underscoring the importance of compliance throughout a firm's business operations.
