Examinations: SEC 2022 Priorities

SEC annual list of examination priorities in areas of significant focus

The SEC’s 2022 examination priorities highlight areas of heightened attention and risks, such as crypto assets and cyber security, as well as core areas of SEC supervision, including investor protection. Notably, many areas of “significant focus” align with recently issued regulatory proposals in the areas of private funds, ESG, standards of conduct, and cybersecurity. SEC registered market participants should consider these examination priorities in such areas as risk coverage, controls, and testing.
