Act of 1933, Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Public Utility
Holding Company Act of 1935, Investment Company A
Investors and securities holders need
reasonably current financial statements to make considered
investment and voting decisions. Regulation S-X prescribes the
form, content, and requirements for financial statements included
in registration statements, reports, proxy and information
statements, and other documents. Regulation S-X lays the foundation
for financial statement presentations in SEC forms and rules. It
assures the comparability and uniformity of financial information
necessary for investment and corporate governance analysis. This
regulation, therefore, is the core of the SEC's financial reporting
system.
