OCIE conducts examinations of SEC-registered investment advisors, investment companies, broker-dealers, self-regulatory organizations, clearing agencies and transfer agents. It uses a risk-based approach to examinations to fulfill its mission to promote compliance with U.S. securities laws, prevent fraud, monitor risk, and help create SEC policy, the SEC says.
