Any investment firm – such as mutual funds and hedge funds – that are registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission can be audited by the SEC at any time. It may happen every other year or not happen for years, but the vast majority of firms that are investing in the stock market are audited at some point. The SEC audits firm policies, trading activities and compliance with regulations to make sure things are well run and that investor assets are being properly managed.
