This course will analyze the various audit, examination,
and inspection proceedings involving all types of financial institutions,
with a special emphasis on governmental and SRO proceedings. It will
provide an excellent overview of the various types of such proceedings and
which regulators are involved, how the agencies and SRO examination staffs
coordinate among each other, how to assess the request and respond
thereto, how and when internal audits and examinations should occur and
the role played by such internal proceedings, how to establish effective
internal investigations, how and whether internal reports are
discoverable, the need for self-reporting, the role of counsel in these
proceedings, ethical issues facing legal and compliance personnel, and the
formal processes used by governmental agencies and SROs.
