The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has updated its EDGAR Filer Manual to streamline the electronic filing process by removing outdated content and allowing for electronic notarizations and remote online notarizations. Changes in Volume I clarify the consequences of false statements in submissions, while revisions in Volume II focus on incorporating updates made to EDGAR on December 14, 2020. Additionally, the SEC seeks comments on potential changes to the Form ID information collection, necessary for accessing and using the EDGAR system.
Simple Explanation
The SEC made their computer system for filing important documents easier to use by taking out old stuff and allowing people to sign things online. They also want people to share their thoughts on a form needed to use this system.
