CCOutreach ProgramThe mission of the CCOutreach program for fund and adviser Chief Compliance Officers ("CCOs") is to improve compliance by opening the lines of communication between CCOs of registered investment advisers and investment companies and SEC staff. As part of the CCOutreach Program, we established an email address, CCOutreach@sec.gov. Please feel free to contact us or your local office (see office contact information at http://www.sec.gov/about/offices/ocie/ocie_org.htm) with any compliance questions or concerns you have regarding any industry or individual practice. You may request anonymity when speaking with the staff. Seminars
Availability of Continuing Education Credits for CPAs Attending the National and Regional CCOutreach Seminars As of November 2006, the CCOutreach National and Regional Seminars have been designated as professional training programs for which certified public accountants may earn continuing professional education ("CPE") credits. The estimated CPE credits for attending the National Program are 7 hours and the Regional Programs are 4 hours, with all credits in specialized knowledge and applications. Students and instructors who are certified public accountants are eligible to receive CPE credits based on their in-person participation in the program. Application forms will be available at each program. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations is registered with the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) as a sponsor of continuing professional education on the National Registry of CPE Sponsors. State boards of accountancy have final authority on the acceptance of individual courses for CPE credit. Complaints regarding registered sponsors may be addressed to the National Registry of CPE Sponsors, 150 Fourth Avenue North, Suite 700, Nashville, TN 37219-2417 or by visiting the website: www.nasba.org. There are no prerequisites for these programs. No advance preparation for these programs is required and there is no charge to attend. You will be notified of any changes in the date, time, or cancellation of these programs. If you have any suggestions or complaints about earning CPEs at these programs, please contact either Karen Rossotto (202/551-6779) or Mavis Kelly (202/551-6381) to discuss/resolve the issue.
