S.E.C.

May 18, 2014 by Owen Gallagher

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (S.E.C.) is an agency of the United States federal government. It holds primary responsibility for enforcing the federal securities laws and regulating the securities industry, the nation’s stock and options exchanges, and other activities and organizations. Most companies with publicly traded stock must file 10K annual reports and 10Q quarterly reports of their finances and operations.
