HedgeOp Compliance, LLC is happy to announce the 2009 schedule for our Excellence in Compliance Seminar Series for investment management professionals. Navigating today's ever-changing and complex regulatory environment is a difficult task. HedgeOp's seminar series is designed to educate investment managers on important compliance-related topics to help streamline and simplify their compliance infrastructure.

September 30th - "Staying Prepared for an SEC Audit and Building a Culture of Compliance"

If you're like most investment managers registered with the SEC, you dread the day that the SEC knocks on your door to conduct an audit. This seminar focuses on identifying the areas of your business that are likely to be scrutinized during an SEC examination and provide guidance on how you can stay prepared for an SEC audit. In addition, we offer practical advice on how your firm can build a compliance program that will clearly demonstrate your firm commitment to building and maintaining a "culture of compliance."

December 2nd - "Reg S-P: Keeping You Client's Information Secure"

- In March 2008, the SEC released a set of proposed amendments to Regulation S-P which seek to require registered investment advisers to enhance the protection of consumer financial information. If adopted, the proposed amendments would require advisers to expand existing safeguards into a more expansive "information security program". During this seminar, we will help you understand the expanded requirements under the proposal and discuss the hot button topics such as: (i) the identification of reasonably foreseeable risks at your firm; (ii) designing information safeguards to control/manage the identified risks; (iii) setting up a plan for testing and training for staff; (iv) evaluating the programs of your service providers; and (v) developing and reviewing your procedures related to unauthorized access of confidential data.
