A glance at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Rulemaking Index shows activity on over a dozen rules before the first half of 2023 is even over. That level of activity continues the momentum from 2022, which saw 34 rules proposed or finalized. With so much activity across a wide range of regulations, how can firms keep pace?
Proposals of note include:
Reopening of Comment Period for Modernization of Beneficial Ownership Reporting
Electronic Submission of Certain Material Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Regulation Systems Compliance and Integrity
Prohibition Against Conflicts of Interest in Certain Securitizations
The high levels of rule-making activity reflect the SEC's robust approach and record-breaking enforcement in 2022 under chair Gary Gensler. 2022 saw the agency file 760 enforcement actions and assess a record $6.4 billion in penalties. With so much potential regulatory change on the horizon—and so much on the line if firms fail to comply—it's incumbent on firms to keep track of all of the moving pieces.
