To ensure completeness, financial regulators have to spend significant time carefully checking every financial document based on relevant content requirements, which prescribe the information types to be included in financial documents (e.g., the fund name, the description of shares\u2019 issue conditions and procedures). Although several techniques have been proposed to automatically detect certain types of information in documents across application domains, they provide limited support to help regulators automatically identify the text chunks related to financial information types, due to the complexity of financial documents and the diversity of the sentences typically characterizing an information type. In this paper, we propose FITI to trace content requirements in financial documents with multi-granularity text analysis. Given a new financial document, FITI first selects a set of candidate sentences for efficient information type identification. Then, to rank candidate sentences, FITI uses a combination of rule-based and data-centric approaches, by leveraging information retrieval (IR) and machine learning (ML) techniques that analyze the words, sentences, and contexts related to an information type. Finally, using a list of domain-specific indicator phrases related to each information type, a heuristic-based selector, which considers both the sentence ranking and domain-specific phrases, determines a list of sentences corresponding to each information type. We evaluated FITI by assessing its effectiveness in tracing financial content requirements in 100 real-world financial documents. Experimental results show that FITI is able to provide accurate identification with average precision, recall, and <jats:inline-formula>\n              <jats:alternatives>\n                <jats:tex-math>$$\\hbox {F}_1$$<\/jats:tex-math>\n                <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\">\n                  <mml:msub>\n                    <mml:mtext>F<\/mml:mtext>\n                    <mml:mn>1<\/mml:mn>\n                  <\/mml:msub>\n                <\/mml:math>\n              <\/jats:alternatives>\n            <\/jats:inline-formula>-score values of 0.824, 0.646, and 0.716, respectively.
