SEC Deficiency Letters Require Swift Action
On the topic of SEC Deficiency Letters, if you have received one, you must promptly take corrective action. The SEC will not tolerate inappropriate delay. The SEC recently imposed an $8 million civil penalty on an adviser who, among other things, failed to promptly take corrective action in its Form ADV filing, following receipt of a Deficiency Letter that described omissions and misstatements in Form ADV Part 2A and Part 2B.
