The second dataset supports the revised Auditor Independence testing rules recently released by the SEC in Rule 2-01 that requires auditors to identify and monitor their clients for potential independence-impairing relationships and services linked to affiliated entities, including sister entities, regardless of whether the sister entities are material to the controlling entity. The Convergence offering maps 600,000+ entities and 700,000 senior executives to investment advisers.

Our ability to identify, monitor and report changes to these affiliated entities will simplify and reduce the costs associated for the Audit community", noted John Phinney, CEO Convergence.
