Audit-ready frameworks from practitioners who ran the audit.
Accelerated Format Available
Teams with an audit window of three to six weeks complete the full curriculum on a compressed schedule. Rigor is not adjusted—only the timeline.
Instructors: Active Compliance Officers
Every session is led by professionals currently managing LP relationships and regulatory filings at operating PE funds—not former practitioners, not academics.
LP audit preparation, DDQ response protocols, ILPA reporting standards, and SEC examination readiness—built from active fund operations, not textbook reconstructions.
Delivery: Live & Corporate Cohorts
Open enrollment cohorts run quarterly. Private team cohorts for GPs, fund administrators, and service providers can be scheduled on demand.
What the program covers—and why each module is operational.
Every module maps to a real decision point in LP reporting or regulatory review. Case materials are drawn from current fund cycles, not archived scenarios.
Module 1 — LP Audit Preparation
Module 2 — DDQ Response Protocols
Module 3 — ILPA Reporting Standards
Module 4 — SEC Examination Readiness
Constructing defensible due diligence questionnaire responses; aligning operational disclosure with current SEC and institutional LP expectations.
Applying ILPA fee and expense reporting templates, aligning fund-level disclosures with LP agreement terms, and handling common waterfall presentation disputes.
Regulatory examination sequencing, books-and-records standards, common deficiency patterns in PE fund exams, and live document-request simulations.
Structuring audit documentation, reconciling capital account statements, and managing LP information requests under fund agreement constraints.
Instructors who have faced the SEC examiner across the table.
Program instructors have served as compliance officers and senior fund accountants at institutional PE firms. They have managed live SEC examinations, negotiated LP audit findings, and filed ILPA-compliant reports under regulatory deadlines.
Course materials are drawn from deal cycles closed within the current fiscal year. When regulatory guidance shifts, the curriculum reflects it in the next cohort—not in the next edition.
All instructors are verified as currently active in PE fund operations or fund administration at the time of each cohort. Berkshire does not retain retired practitioners as permanent faculty.
Seats fill before audit season.
