SEC Reopens Comment Period for Listing Standards for Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation

SEC Advises Filers on Inappropriate Use of Custom Tags for Operating Lease Right-of-Use Asset Amortization

The SEC’s Division of Economic and Risk Analysis (DERA) recently released an announcement reminding filers to use the standard elements provided in the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) taxonomy to tag data rather than create and use custom tags.

SEC Proposes Amendments to Form N-PX

The SEC has proposed revisions to Form N-PX to broaden the form’s scope and make it easier and more efficient for investors to get vital information from mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and other funds that report about their proxy votes. Funds have been required since 2003 to file Form N-PX reports to disclose their voting practices for proxy proposals concerning their investments. However, funds may be inconsistent in the way in which they disclose information about their votes, or they may use a format that is not machine readable, which can make it sometimes difficult for investors to analyze reported data. The rule would render funds’ proxy voting records more usable and easier to analyze. In addition, investors would be able to more easily monitor how their funds vote and compare different funds’ voting records. Continue reading "SEC Proposes Amendments to Form N-PX" »
