The SEC showed its Reg S-P document request list. Here’s how to produce every item.

In January 2026, SEC exam staff walked through a sample Regulation S-P document request and a mock exam. This guide takes every item on that list and covers what the SEC didn't: which system produces it, how to set that system up, and what a strong answer looks like.
