SEC Releases Draft EDGAR Filer Manual

The SEC posted the draft EDGAR Filer Manual (Volume II) EDGAR Filing (Version 49) for public review, which is intended to help "filers, agents, and software developers in their preparation of responses to potential changes the staff anticipates."

As previously covered, the SEC amended the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System ("EDGAR") Filer Manual and related rules. The Filer Manual outlines the technical formatting required for electronic filings submitted through EDGAR. The revisions became effective as of November 5, 2018.
