Could your SEC filer status change?

 

What the SEC’s proposed amendments could mean for you

 

The SEC’s proposed filer status amendments could change how thousands of public companies are classified, with potential implications for reporting requirements, internal controls, governance and compliance obligations.

 

The proposal would increase the large accelerated filer threshold and simplify the filer status framework, potentially changing reporting requirements for many public companies.

 

Organizations near the proposed thresholds are already evaluating how these changes could affect their business, where they could create opportunities for relief or simplification, and what steps may be worth considering while the proposal continues through the rulemaking process.
