The SEC Expands and Accelerates Form 8-K Reporting
On March 11, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) promulgated final rules that significantly alter the reporting requirements for public companies on Form 8-K. These final rules put into place a series of reforms first proposed in June 2002, and which were given additional momentum by Section 409 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX), which mandated that the SEC promulgate rules to require disclosure of additional information regarding material changes in the financial condition or operations of an issuer on a "rapid and current basis."
