AI Document Editor for Finance Teams

Finance teams produce documents where every number matters — investment memos, board materials, CIMs, and due diligence reports. Vespper connects your financial models and data sources directly to your narratives, so every figure is verifiable.

1. Securities Regulation

Finance teams produce documents subject to SEC disclosure requirements and securities regulations.

SEC and Exchange Act Requirements

  • Periodic reporting obligations (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K) with content and timing requirements
  • Regulation FD fair disclosure requirements preventing selective information sharing
  • Insider trading prevention documentation and trading window policies (Rule 10b-5)
  • Investment Advisers Act of 1940 compliance for registered advisers
Impact on documentation
  • SEC filings with material misstatements create personal liability for signing officers under SOX 302
  • Reg FD violations from inconsistent information in different documents can trigger SEC enforcement

2. Financial Reporting Standards

Finance teams must ensure all financial documentation complies with applicable accounting standards.

US GAAP and IFRS

  • ASC codification compliance for US financial reporting
  • IFRS compliance for international operations and dual-reporting requirements
  • SOX Section 404 internal controls over financial reporting documentation
  • MD&A (Management Discussion and Analysis) requirements for public filings
Impact on documentation
  • Accounting standard non-compliance in financial documents can trigger restatements and SEC enforcement
  • SOX 404 documentation must demonstrate control design and operating effectiveness continuously

3. Investment & Fund Compliance

Finance teams in investment firms must navigate fund-specific regulatory requirements.

Investment Regulations

  • Investment Company Act of 1940 documentation requirements
  • ERISA fiduciary documentation for retirement plan investments
  • CFTC/NFA compliance documentation for derivatives activities
  • BSA/AML documentation including KYC and suspicious activity reporting
Impact on documentation
  • ERISA fiduciary documentation failures create personal liability for plan fiduciaries
  • AML documentation gaps are a leading cause of regulatory enforcement in financial services

4. Regulatory Examination Readiness

Finance teams must maintain documentation supporting regulatory examination across multiple agencies.

Examination Preparation

  • SEC examination priorities and documentation expectations
  • FINRA regulatory examination preparation and response protocols
  • State securities regulator compliance documentation
  • Self-regulatory organization requirements and reporting
Impact on documentation
  • Examination-ready documentation reduces audit duration and enforcement risk
  • Document gaps during examinations trigger expanded scope reviews and heightened scrutiny

What happens when documentation falls short

  • SEC enforcement action from reporting deficiencies or material misstatements
  • FINRA sanctions from compliance documentation gaps
  • SOX material weakness determination affecting financial reporting reliability
  • Investor lawsuits from inadequate disclosure in financial documents
  • AML enforcement penalties from documentation deficiencies

What this means for your team

SEC reporting requirements tracked and documented with signing officer review
Financial statements comply with applicable accounting standards (US GAAP/IFRS)
SOX internal controls documented and tested with evidence of operating effectiveness
Investment compliance procedures documented and monitored per applicable regulations
Regulatory examination files maintained and current across all applicable agencies
