This survey targets SB-2 and 10KSB (Smaller Issuer) Decision Makers include Officers, Directors, Attorneys, Auditors and the service or solution providers who serve this market space.

 

Recent SEC Proposals to terminate the SB-2 and 10KSB programs will generate unique issues for small business issuers.  The SEC Smaller Issuer Reforms Survey is designed to help the officers, directors, attorneys, auditors and service and solution providers who are affected by these issues identify research topics. This survey will also help identify future webinar topics.

Policy makers, regulators, advocacy groups, service and solution providers and smaller public company officers and directors have recommended improving the SB-2 Registration and 10-KSB Filing process by eliminating these programs and rolling them into scaled upper tier regulatory regimes.

The SEC recently issued Internal Controls Guidance, Small Company Capital Raising Reforms and other proposals to eliminate the SB-2 Registration and 10KSB Filing programs.

The SEC Smaller Issuer Reforms Survey is designed to help decision makers understand what issuers want to know about each SEC reform.
