The upcoming year will be a year of change. A new presidential administration will bring new SEC leadership. SEC Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20th, and Paul Atkins, who formerly served from 2002-2008, has been nominated to take his place. Recent history has been marked by many 3-2 votes at the commission. With a conservative SEC Chair, Commissioner Hester Pierce and Commissioner Mark Uyeda will be part of a majority that could take new approaches on regulatory issues and possibly push for re-proposals of existing proposed rules like Cybersecurity, Outsourced Service Providers, ESG, Custody, and Artificial Intelligence, all of which have been proposed but not finalized.
Despite these changes and the uncertainty of what may come, there are a number of compliance deadlines that are already set for 2025. Similarly, the 2025 Exam Priorities published by the Division of Examinations and published observations from the commission will continue to be a guide for effective compliance programs. Start your year off on the right foot with our 2025 Compliance Program Checklist.
