On March 20th, the SEC adopted amendments to modernize and simplify disclosure requirements in Regulation S-K for public companies, investment advisers, and investment companies. Like previous amendments, these changes are consistent with the SEC’s mandate under the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act and are based on recommendations in the staff’s FAST Act Report and a broader review of the SEC’s disclosure rules. These changes are expected to benefit investors through eliminating outdated and unnecessary disclosure while improving the readability and navigability of company disclosures. They should also reduce repetition and the disclosure of irrelevant and immaterial information. In addition, these amendments are expected to reduce costs and burdens on registrants.

With the last EDGAR release, the Securities and Exchange Commission updated EDGAR to accept the US GAAP 2019 taxonomy among other new taxonomies. It’s always a good practice to transition your SEC filings as soon as possible when the SEC accepts the new taxonomy year.
