The 2022 Investment Management Compliance Testing Survey is Now Open

ACA Group, the Investment Adviser Association, and Yuter Compliance Consulting invite you to participate in the 2022 Investment Management Compliance Testing Survey.

This survey, now in its 17th year, gathers anonymous information from U.S. investment advisers of all types and sizes for the purpose of reporting on industry trends. Your participation in this year’s survey will assist in providing valuable information to the investment adviser compliance community. Moreover, you will gain access to a variety of testing strategies that you can put to practical use at your own firm. The survey will remain open through Friday, May 27, 2022.

This year we have made some changes to our survey structure to reduce the number of questions and to streamline the survey experience. This year’s survey covers the following timely, high-focus topics:

• Private Funds
• Digital Engagement Practices and Digital Investment Advice
• Remote Office Supervision
• Sanctions Compliance
• Personal Devices and Approved Communication Methods
• DOL Rollovers
• Compliance Program Resourcing and Structure
• SEC Examinations
• Trend Updates:
  • Implementation of the New Marketing Rule
  • Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)
  • Cybersecurity
  • "Hot” Compliance Topics

Those who complete the survey will receive complimentary access to the survey results webcast on June 29, 2022 at 2 p.m. ET. 

Please note this survey is open to compliance professionals at SEC-registered investment advisers. We ask that only one person per firm complete the survey. If you are not your firm’s Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), please check with your CCO before completing the survey to avoid duplicative responses. The survey should take approximately 12 to 25 minutes to complete. 

As a reminder, this survey is conducted on a “blind” basis, so that all participants will remain anonymous. You will not be required to enter your identity, nor the identity of your firm. Moreover, all individual responses to the survey will be held strictly confidential and will not be revealed to any third party.
