Introduction: The Role of the SEC
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is a federal agency whose mission is to “protect investors; maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets; and facilitate capital formation.” Its daily functions include facilitating market transactions in a way that enhances public confidence, protecting investors from unscrupulous conduct that could cause them financial injury, and protecting capital markets.
The SEC takes violations of the federal securities laws very seriously. Most violations come to the attention of the SEC via tips, whistleblower complaints, or irregularities in public filings. SEC investigations and litigations can lead to a variety of sanctions including disgorgement of illegally-obtained profits, pre-judgment interest, permanent injunctions, civil penalties, loss of license, reputational harm, and if the Department of Justice is also involved criminal penalties and jail time.
