What does Finrep do for SEC reporting teams?

Finrep provides purpose-built workflows for SEC reporting including roll-forward analysis, peer alignment benchmarking, comment letter risk detection, filing readiness checks, and AI-assisted disclosure drafting — all grounded in evidence and peer precedent.

How does Finrep help with 10-K and 10-Q drafting?

Finrep's Disclosure Drafting workflow drafts or refines 10-K and 10-Q sections using peer precedent, prior period language, and applicable ASC guidance as grounding sources. Every output is traceable to its source.

Can Finrep help respond to SEC comment letters?

Yes. Finrep's Comment Letter Response workflow drafts substantive, defensible responses to SEC staff comment letters by referencing peer company responses and applicable accounting guidance.

What workflows does Finrep offer for CFO and Controller teams?

Finrep offers Certification Readiness, Cross-Period Consistency, and Board Briefing workflows — covering pre-certification risk summaries, narrative consistency checks, and audit committee-ready disclosure summaries.

Does Finrep support ESG and sustainability reporting?

Yes. Finrep includes ESG Disclosure Benchmark and ESG Regulatory Monitoring workflows, supporting TCFD, SASB, and GRI framework alignment as well as SEC climate disclosure rule tracking.

Which teams in the CFO office does Finrep support?

Finrep supports SEC Reporting, Technical Accounting, Legal Counsel, Investor Relations, Disclosure Committee, CFO and Controller, Tax Team, and ESG Reporting functions.

What is post-comment peer language?

The disclosure language a peer filed after responding to a comment on the same topic. Shows what the SEC staff considered an adequate revision.

How are the three risk tiers calibrated?

By sector-specific comment frequency and trend direction. Thresholds differ by sector because comment focus areas differ by industry.

Can I run this on a draft still in progress?

Yes. Run early to strengthen high-risk sections before the filing is finalized, then again before final committee review.

Does it cover the full filing?

Item 1 through Item 16, all footnotes, MD&A, critical accounting estimates, and policy disclosures. Risk rankings at section and ASC topic level.

Does it show the actual SEC staff comment language?

Verbatim, from the EDGAR comment letter archive. Each excerpt linked to the source filing.

How is this different from reading comment letters on EDGAR?

Scale and structure. Finrep processes the full archive for your sector, maps patterns to your draft sections, ranks by risk, and includes post-comment peer revisions. Not a reading list.

SEC Reporting

Comment Letter Risk

Comment letter risk assessment identifies which sections of your draft 10-K or 10-Q are most likely to attract SEC staff scrutiny before filing. Finrep ranks each section using sector-specific comment patterns and post-comment peer language, showing how peers revised after similar comments. The committee sees the risk surface, not just the filing.

Today's reality

Comment Letter Risk without Finrep

No risk assessment before filing. Team files without knowing which sections draw scrutiny.
Historical comment letter review is time-prohibitive within a close cycle
Comment letters trigger reactive response cycles after the filing is live
No visibility into how peers responded to similar comments

SEC Reporting · Pre-Filing

Comment letters don't arrive randomly. The patterns are visible.

The SEC Division of Corporation Finance reviews filings on a cycle. The topics they focus on are sector-specific and they repeat: revenue recognition granularity in SaaS companies, lease modification disclosures in REITs, goodwill impairment assumptions in serial acquirers.

The patterns are knowable. Assembling the evidence takes days the close cycle does not have. So the assessment does not happen. The filing routes without a risk view. The team learns about disclosure weaknesses after the filing is public.

From draft to risk-ranked filing in four steps

Upload your draft

Drop your 10-K or 10-Q. Finrep parses all items, footnotes, tables, and policy disclosures.

Select your sector

Confirm SIC or GICS code. Finrep retrieves sector-specific comment patterns: which topics drew scrutiny and how frequently.

Review the risk ranking

Each section ranked high, elevated, or baseline. High-risk sections show the specific comment patterns that apply and post-comment peer revisions.

Strengthen and route

Address high-risk sections while the draft is in progress. Export the risk assessment for committee review.

What changes when you see the comment letter risk surface before filing

Sector-specific comment pattern matching

Rankings built from comment letter history specific to your sector: which ASC topics drew questions, which sections attracted scrutiny, how frequency has shifted. A SaaS company sees ASC 606 disaggregation patterns. A REIT sees ASC 842 modification patterns. Three-year lookback, weighted toward the most recent four quarters.

Post-comment peer language

For every high-risk topic, the output includes how peers revised their disclosures after receiving similar comments. The actual language filed in the subsequent period, not a summary of the comment. Shows what the SEC staff considered an adequate response.

Three-tier section risk ranking

Each section classified as high risk (matches active sector patterns with high frequency), elevated (intermittent or trending upward), or baseline (no significant pattern match). Calibrated per sector: high risk in biotech differs from high risk in retail.

Verbatim comment language alongside your draft

For high and elevated sections, the specific SEC staff comment language shown alongside your draft for the same topic. Not "the SEC has asked about revenue recognition." The actual question, verbatim, from the EDGAR comment letter archive.
