Hello everyone, my name is Stephen Taylor and I am the Chief Commercial Officer at MyComplianceOffice. I want to thank you all for joining our webinar today hosted by MyComplianceOffice and co-hosted by NorthPoint Compliance. If you have any questions join the webinar, please use the chatter option on the side panel of the go-to webinar meeting itself. Our expert will try to answer all of them before the end of the session during our Q and A portion.

Our presenters today will shed light on the SEC examination process and on how to prepare for an actual SEC examination. Topics to be discussed include the do's and don'ts when responding to a document request list and when being interviewed by SEC examiners, trends with respect to the SEC current examination program and lessons to be learned from SEC enforcement actions.

Victoria also spent two years as a Compliance Officer at Fortress Investment Group. Victoria graduated magna cum laude at the College of New Jersey.
