Division of Corporation Finance Staff to Continue to Enhance Transparency of Staff Actions
Aug. 20, 2018
The Division of Corporation Finance recently announced that it would begin releasing through EDGAR documentation of certain staff communications sent to issuers engaged in the Division’s filing review process. The Division intends to continue to take advantage of EDGAR system enhancements and will begin to publicly post in issuers’ EDGAR filing histories a range of documents relating to staff actions taken with respect to those issuers. The Division also will take steps to release via EDGAR other documents relating to actions taken by the SEC or by Division staff that currently are available elsewhere on sec.gov.
Starting October 1, 2018, the Division will begin to release through EDGAR orders we issue granting or denying regulatory relief on behalf of the Commission, as identified below. We intend to continue our efforts to enhance transparency in subsequent phases by releasing additional types of documents, including those memorializing actions or positions taken by the Division staff, such as interpretive guidance and no-action relief.
