The SEC’s Division of Examinations (EXAMS) published its report on 2024 Examination Priorities on October 16, 2023.

The 2024 Examination Priorities continue to reflect an examination program that is vigorous and broad in its focus.

Many of the significant focus areas from the 2023 Examination Priorities remain key focus areas in the 2024 Examination Priorities including: compliance with recently implemented regulations; review of advisers to private funds; focus on registered fund fees and expenses; and standards of conduct for registered investment advisers and broker-dealers.
