| Practice area | [Financial Services Regulation (AFSL/ASIC/credit)](https://ailawframework.com/practice/financial-services-regulation.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the adviser's filing record, record the fiscal year end and the date Parts 1 and 2 of Form ADV were last amended. Count 90 days from the fiscal year end the lawyer supplies. Do not decide that a further amendment was required, and do not apply a product-notice period. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides whether 17 CFR 275.204-1 required an amendment. Paragraph (a)(1) says the adviser must amend Parts 1 and 2 of Form ADV at least annually, within 90 days of the end of the adviser's fiscal year, and more frequently if required by the instructions to Form ADV. Part 3 is amended at the frequency required by those instructions. The instructions were not opened. Paragraph (b) requires electronic filing of amendments to Part 1A, Part 2A, and Part 3 with the IARD, unless a continuing hardship exemption under section 275.203-3 applies. Brochure supplements under Part 2B are not required to be filed with the Commission. Paragraph (d) says each amendment required to be filed under the section is a report within sections 204 and 207 of the Investment Advisers Act, 15 USC 80b-4 and 80b-7. The eCFR page states the same annual 90-day requirement. The rule does not state a 30-day notice period for a change in a financial product. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: From the adviser's filing record, record the fiscal year end and the date Parts 1 and 2 of Form ADV were last amended. Count 90 days from the fiscal year end the lawyer supplies. Do not decide that a further amendment was required, and do not apply a product-notice period.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- The 90 days run from the end of the adviser's fiscal year. Any shorter period is in the Form ADV instructions, which were not opened.
- This is an amendment of the adviser's Form ADV. It is not a notice to holders of a change in a product.
