The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently released 2024 exam priorities, notably leaving ESG off the list.

In the Financial Times, asset management partner Jason Brown said “I don’t think that the omission of ESG from the exam priorities is a signal that the SEC will no longer focus on ESG,” said Brown, who is the firm’s co-head of the private funds regulatory practice. “ESG was a major focus of investment adviser exams in 2023, and we have not seen a slowdown yet. The issues that they were looking into, primarily greenwashing, [will be] just as relevant in 2024 as they were in 2023.”
