  U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, commonly referred to as the SEC, is the United States governing body which has primary responsibility for overseeing the regulation of the securities industry.
The SEC has five Commissioners who are appointed by the President of the United States with the advice and consent of the United States Senate.

 SEC - open source and platform independent event correlation tool
SEC is an open source and platform independent event correlation tool that was designed to fill the gap between commercial event correlation systems and homegrown solutions that usually comprise a few simple shell scripts.
SEC accepts input from regular files, named pipes, and standard input, and can thus be employed as an event correlator for any application that is able to write its output events to a file stream.
Since SEC is generally not tested against outdated Perl releases, it is recommended to run SEC with at least Perl 5.6 (see http://www.perl.org for the latest stable Perl release).

 SEC Adopts Final Rules Regarding Auditor Independence
The SEC noted that because materiality determinations may not be complete before financial statements are generated, the audit client and accounting firm by necessity would need to evaluate the general nature of the information, as well as the system output during the period of the audit engagement, before proceeding with the engagement.
The SEC noted that laws and regulations in certain foreign countries require auditors in connection with designated transactions of their audit clients to provide "contribution-in-kind reports" that express an opinion on the fairness of the transaction, the value of a security, or the adequacy of the consideration to shareholders.
The SEC did not require that these discussions follow a specific form or manner, but stated that accountants and issuers should read and refer to the December 2001 cautionary guidance to determine the types of matters that should be communicated to the audit committee.

 SEC knew about dicey fund pricing - Corporate Scandals - MSNBC.com
SEC Chairman William Donaldson at a Senate hearing this week, where he said his agency was examining the mutual fund and hedge fund industries.
An SEC spokesman said during that period, actions were taken against at least “six to eight” of the roughly 8,300 U.S.-based mutual funds, but said a more thorough list was difficult to obtain because of the way the agency classifies enforcement actions.
Other former SEC staffers have said that in the late 1990s the agency was badly outgunned by the financial services industry, as SEC funding failed to keep up with the rapid growth of investing and mutual fund ownership.

 SEC Adopts Rules Regarding Disclosure about Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations
In response to comments that the definition of an "off-balance sheet arrangement" as originally proposed by the SEC was excessively broad and required further clarification, the final rules modify the definition of "off-balance sheet arrangement" to incorporate concepts from U.S. GAAP in many cases.
Under the SEC’s 1989 Interpretive Release on MDandA disclosure, "reasonably likely" is the existing disclosure threshold under which information that could have a material effect on financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations must be included in the MDandA.
Pending future SEC guidance on this subject, issuers should refer to the existing guidance to consider whether it would be beneficial to investors to include tabular disclosure of aggregate commercial commitments.
