SEC INITIAL REGISTRANT & ESSENTIAL SERVICES

EXISTING
SEC REGISTRANT REVIEW

We make compliance
real and relatable. 

ICA will comprehensively review your current SEC or State registration filing, existing disclosure brochures, and your current IA agreements.  We will highlight any necessary revisions, make recommendations based on current requirements, revise the language, and address regulatory concerns.

 

As an SEC Registrant, your firm must comply with the Investment Advisers Act and the rules.  To ensure the firm is in compliance and in preparation for an SEC Registrant Exam, we'll require a 12-month engagement of one of our ongoing services following the completed review of your firm and tailored documents.  

​

Let us help you effectively navigate compliance so you can focus on your firm and clients.
