OCIE continues its efforts to adjust its inspection focus areas to address these risks and release annual priorities. We want this transparency Sex can help companies evaluate and improve their compliance programs and ultimately help protect investors. "

Investment advice in financial technology and innovation including digital assets. OCIE stated that due to financial technology, capital formation methods and market structures, and new data sources used by registered companies, continuous attention and review are needed. OCIE will also continue to identify and inspect SEC-registered companies engaged in the field of digital assets, as well as RIAs that serve customers through automated investment tools and platforms.
