EDGAR Business Office

The EDGAR Business Office (EBO) manages all aspects of the EDGAR program, an ecosystem of services and systems that support the SEC's public filing regime. 

While the EDGAR (Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval) system is the most prominent feature in this ecosystem, other key components include EBO's Filer Support operations; software and system support teams; EDGAR full-text search; Public Dissemination System and SEC.gov dissemination processes; and EDGAR-Information for Filers and news and announcements webpages. EBO further governs strategic improvements to EDGAR; oversees EDGAR system and software development for SEC rulemakings and other matters; and leads rulemaking related to the administration of EDGAR in Regulation S-T and the EDGAR Filer Manual.
