2023 brought with it significant developments within the areas of regulatory compliance, including those related to marketing activities, cybersecurity and increased regulatory reporting standards, among other categories. Additionally, the SEC has made clear that there is increased scrutiny on private fund managers to ensure they adhere to updated regulation and regulatory guidance, which has resulted in potential focus areas during examinations by the SEC.
To help managers better understand the complete picture when it comes to SEC examinations, Silver’s CEO, Fizza Khan, will be hosting a breakout session at AIMA’s event, “Global Policy & Regulatory Forum 2024,” in New York, NY on March 19th.
