Overview
Course Description:
Inaccurate and/or inadequate Form ADV disclosures are consistently cited in the SEC’s and many states’ list of “Top Deficiencies.” In this session, experts will systematically walk through Form ADV Part 1 and examine disclosure requirements that impact all advisers (including private fund advisers). This session will also review the method of calculating “regulatory assets under management (RAUM),” re-examine the changes to the ADV Part 1A that became effective recently, and discuss how the SEC’s new custody guidance on first- and third-party transfers should be reflected on Form ADV. Finally, your instructors will provide guidance on correlating the information reported in Form ADV Part 1 to disclosures in Form ADV Part 2.
In addition to a detailed overview of Form ADV Part 1, Schedule D, and applicable Form ADV Part 1 Instructions, instructors will help you fully understand Annual Amendment filing requirements, appreciate the meaning of certain key words and terms, and avoid making common mistakes.
