Paz and Naim Culhaci, Latham & Watkins LLP, on Saturday, December 2, 2023 On October 16, 2023, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Division of Examinations (the Division) published its annual examination priorities for 2024 (2024 Priorities), which focus on “certain practices, products, and services that [the Division] believes present potentially heightened risks to investors or the integrity of the U.S. capital markets.” The Division will prioritize areas that pose emerging risks to investors or the markets, as well as examinations of core and perennial risk areas. The 2024 Priorities include certain of these focus areas, but are not an exhaustive list.
