Over the past few years, the use of Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) has exploded across multiple industries and many financial services. One area where AI can be particularly useful is in regulatory compliance. With the increasing complexity of regulations in the financial industry, AI can help investment advisers ensure that they are meeting all requirements, including those related to Form ADV.
Form ADV is the key disclosure document investment advisors must file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and state securities regulators. As a reminder, each registered investment adviser must file an annual updating amendment to its Form ADV within 90 days of its fiscal year end. Failure to do so can result in enforcement actions by regulatory authorities.
The Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday issued orders against three investment advisers for falsely identifying the state where they practice on their Form ADV filings. This is a serious violation of securities laws and shows the importance of accurate and timely disclosure in the financial industry.
The SEC's EXAMS division issued its third risk alert on the Marketing Rule, outlining common compliance issues and urging advisers to review their practices to ensure they are in compliance.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has charged Vista Financial Advisors LLC and the firm's co-owner and chief compliance officer with making false statements on their Form ADV filings.

SEC Form ADV is a required submission to the Securities and Exchange Commission by a professional investment adviser, which specifies the investment style, fee structure, assets under management, and other key information. Advisers must update their Form ADV annually and promptly disclose any material changes to their business or operations.
