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 current is the Staff signal data?

Comment letter patterns weighted toward the most recent four quarters. Speeches and sample letters updated as published. No static annual snapshot.

How is the scrutiny level calibrated?

By sector. Climate, cybersecurity, and supply chain scrutiny varies significantly by industry. Flags reflect what the Staff is actually pressing in your sector.

Is this the same as comment letter risk assessment?

Related but distinct. Comment letter risk uses historical patterns to rank section-level risk. Scrutiny Scan focuses on current Staff signals: what the Staff is actively pressing right now, not the multi-year pattern.

Does it cover Staff speeches?

Yes. Recent public statements from Corp Fin leadership on disclosure priorities are incorporated as a source signal alongside comment letter patterns and sample letters.

When should I run it?

In the final two weeks before filing, after substantive drafting is complete. Flagged sections need time to address before the filing routes.

Scrutiny Scan

Scrutiny Scan is the pre-filing check that identifies which current Staff focus areas intersect with your filing and where your disclosure sits below the level of scrutiny the sector is receiving. Finrep maps recent comment letter patterns, Staff speeches, and sample letters to your 10-K or 10-Q and flags sections where your draft may not hold up.

Today's reality

Scrutiny Scan without Finrep

Sections below current scrutiny level identified only by auditors or SEC staff
Pre-filing review based on prior year patterns, not current Staff priorities

Legal Counsel · Pre-Filing

The Staff's focus areas are public. Most teams check them after the comment letter arrives.

SEC Staff priorities do not change without notice. Comment letter patterns, speeches from Corp Fin leadership, and published sample letters signal exactly which topics the Staff is pressing and how hard. The information is public.

The gap is mapping it to a specific filing under close cycle conditions. Reading recent Staff speeches, tracking comment letter frequency by topic, and assessing which sections of your draft are exposed to current focus areas is a week of research most teams skip because the filing deadline does not move.

What changes when you see the Staff's focus areas before they see your filing

Three-source Staff signal synthesis

Comment letter patterns (frequency and topic by sector), Corp Fin leadership speeches (recent public statements on disclosure priorities), and published sample letters (Staff model of expected disclosure depth) synthesized into a single current-focus picture. No single source captures the full signal; all three together do.

Section-level flag mapping

Each current Staff focus area mapped to the specific section of your filing it intersects: Item 1A, MD&A, specific footnotes, or policy disclosures. Flag shows the topic, the comment frequency in your sector, and whether your current draft is above, at, or below the level the Staff is pressing.

Sector-calibrated scrutiny level

Scrutiny level calibrated to your sector. The Staff's current focus on climate risk disclosure affects some sectors more than others. Cybersecurity disclosure scrutiny varies by industry profile. Flags reflect what the Staff is actually pressing in your sector, not a generic high-risk list.

Strengthening recommendations per flag

Each flagged section includes a recommended action: what the Staff expects based on recent comment patterns and what change to your current draft would address the gap. Grounded in the specific comment language the Staff has used in recent correspondence.
