Workflow

Overview

CaseMark's Form ADV skill automates the drafting of complete SEC and state investment adviser registration filings, including Parts 1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B. By analyzing your entity documents, compliance materials, and personnel bios, it produces internally consistent, IARD-ready responses and client-facing brochures with a detailed open issues list for compliance review.

Drafting Form ADV is one of the most labor-intensive tasks in investment adviser compliance. Attorneys and CCOs must manually cross-reference entity documents, ownership tables, fee schedules, and disciplinary records across four interconnected parts—often spending days ensuring internal consistency and completeness before a single filing can be submitted.

CaseMark automates the entire Form ADV drafting process by ingesting your firm's source documents and generating complete, cross-referenced responses for Parts 1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B. The AI flags missing data and unverified disclosures so your compliance team can focus on substantive review rather than manual data assembly, cutting filing preparation time dramatically.

How it works

  1. 1. Upload entity formation docs, ownership tables, compliance manuals, advisory agreements, fee schedules, and supervised person bios

  2. 2. AI analyzes your documents and populates every Form ADV data point across Parts 1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B

  3. 3. Review the complete draft, resolve flagged open issues, and customize disclosures

  4. 4. Export IARD-ready filings and client-facing brochures in your preferred format (DOCX, PDF)

Questions

Does CaseMark generate all four parts of Form ADV?

Yes. CaseMark drafts Part 1A, Part 1B (for state-registered advisers), Part 2A (the firm brochure), and Part 2B (supervised person supplements) in a single workflow. All parts are cross-referenced for internal consistency.

Are the Part 1A responses ready to file on IARD?

CaseMark produces Part 1A responses formatted to align with current IARD item-by-item requirements. Your compliance team should perform a final review before submission, but the heavy drafting work is done for you.

How does CaseMark handle missing or unverified information?

CaseMark never infers the absence of disciplinary events or other critical data. When information is missing or unverifiable from the uploaded documents, it generates a detailed Open Issues list so your team knows exactly what needs follow-up.

Can I use this for amendments to an existing Form ADV?

Absolutely. Upload your prior filing along with updated documents, and CaseMark will draft amended responses reflecting the changes while maintaining consistency with unchanged sections.

Does CaseMark address state-specific registration requirements?

Yes. When you indicate your target jurisdictions, CaseMark incorporates state-specific requirements into Part 1B and flags any additional disclosures or filings required by individual states.

Is the Part 2A brochure written in plain English?

CaseMark drafts the Part 2A brochure in clear, plain-English language suitable for client-facing delivery, following SEC guidance on readability while ensuring all required disclosure items are covered.
