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.

How does Finrep categorize risk factors across differently structured filings?

By content, not heading or position. "Cybersecurity Risks" and "Digital Infrastructure Vulnerabilities" map to the same category.

What does coverage depth measurement mean?

Each category scored on sub-topics addressed, language specificity, quantitative context, and mitigation actions. Not just present or absent.

Can I define my own peer set?

Yes. Ticker, SIC, GICS, or market cap. Peer set methodology included in the output.

Are peer excerpts verbatim or summarized?

Verbatim, linked to the source EDGAR paragraph.

Risk Factor Benchmark

Risk factor benchmarking compares your draft Item 1A against peer filings in EDGAR by risk category. Finrep ingests your risk factors, retrieves peer disclosures, maps them to comparable topics, measures coverage depth, and outputs a gap report with source-linked peer excerpts and recommended follow-up actions for review.

Today's reality

Risk Factor Benchmark without Finrep

3 to 5 days of manual peer reading before a partial comparison exists
No standardized categorization across peers with different structures
Emerging risk topics go unnoticed without reading every peer's Item 1A in full
No coverage depth measurement, just subjective gut checks

SEC Reporting · Pre-Filing

The SEC staff reads your peers' risk factors. You should too, before they do.

Item 1A is not drafted in isolation. The SEC staff has access to every peer filing in your sector. When five of your closest peers disclose a supply chain concentration risk and your filing does not mention it, the staff already knows the question.

Reading 10 to 15 peer Item 1A sections and categorizing hundreds of risk factors is a multi-day effort that competes with every other close-cycle task. The comparison does not happen at the category level. The filing routes without a benchmark.

From draft Item 1A to peer gap report in four steps

Upload your Item 1A

Drop your 10-K or 10-Q (or just the risk factor section). Finrep ingests every risk factor and maps each to a standardized category.

Define your peer set

Select by ticker, SIC, GICS, or market cap. Finrep retrieves each peer's most recent Item 1A from EDGAR.

Review the gap report

Each category shows your coverage depth alongside peers: aligned, thinner, or absent. Peer excerpts source-linked. Follow-up actions per gap.

Route to committee

Export the benchmark. Your language and peer language side by side, every excerpt traceable to EDGAR.

What changes when coverage depth is measured, not guessed

Standardized topic mapping across all filings

"Cybersecurity Risks" and "Information Technology Vulnerabilities" map to the same category. 40+ categories spanning operational, financial, regulatory, market, technology, ESG, litigation, macroeconomic, supply chain, and talent risk types.

Coverage depth measurement

Each category scored on depth: sub-topics addressed, specificity of language, quantitative context, mitigation actions. Not a binary present/absent check. Shows exactly how much thinner your coverage is relative to peers.

Source-linked peer excerpts

Every excerpt links to the specific risk factor paragraph in the peer's EDGAR filing. Verbatim language, not summarized. Click through to verify the original in context.

Recommended follow-up actions

For each gap, the output includes recommended follow-up: add missing sub-topic, strengthen with company-specific language, add quantitative context, or review for applicability. Actionable, not just observational.
