On October 23, the SEC’s Division of Examinations released its 2027 Examination Priorities. Conflicts of interest, private funds, Super Intelligence (SI), cybersecurity, and Regulation S-P are among the focus areas. Here’s what examiners will look for and the steps advisers should take to strengthen their compliance programs now.
A recent SEC document request letter could be indicative of a long-predicted sweep of firms for the SEC to evaluate compliance with Amended Regulation S-P, according to at least one news outlet. Thirty items gleaned from a new SEC document request letter focus on cybersecurity protections and breaches.
After months of preparation, today’s the day: All smaller firms ($1.5B or less in AUM) must comply with Amended Regulation S-P by today, June 3, 2026. These firms now join the larger firms that began complying on December 3, 2025.
The compliance deadline for larger advisers (those with $1.5B or more in AUM) is less than two weeks away (Dec. 3, 2025). While much of what the previous administration proposed has been tossed or postponed, the SEC has made it clear that Amended Reg S-P is not only here to stay, but it’s also a key focus area.
The SEC announced it will host a webinar regarding the adoption of Amended Regulation S-P for large firms on Sept. 25, 2025, at 1:00 pm ET. The webinar is part of a series of three events regarding the amendments. The other two events, for transfer agents and small firms, will be announced at a later date.
