#SECGuidance

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) provides a range of guidance to assist entities and individuals in complying with federal securities laws. This guidance encompasses staff interpretations, legal bulletins, and compliance directives.

Key Resources:

Staff Guidance: This includes Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations (C&DIs), Staff Legal Bulletins, and other interpretive materials offering insights into the SEC staff's views on various regulatory matters.

Disclosure Guidance: The SEC offers directives on disclosure obligations, such as the "Sample Letter to Companies Regarding Disclosures Pertaining to Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine and Related Supply Chain Issues," which advises companies on necessary disclosures related to geopolitical events.

Regulatory Updates: The SEC regularly issues press releases announcing new rules and amendments. For instance, in January 2024, the SEC adopted rules to enhance investor protections concerning Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs) and shell companies.

It's important to note that while SEC staff guidance reflects the staff's views and interpretations, it does not carry the force of law. Entities are encouraged to consult legal counsel to ensure compliance with applicable regulations.
