The SEC has released its
Draft 2022–2026 Strategic Plan for public comment. The plan is comprised of a draft of the SEC’s strategic goals, planned initiatives, mission, vision, and values. By introducing these goals, the SEC expects to continue to be a proficient, consistent presence in the evolving capital markets.
The SEC intends to implement these goals by:
- improving the use of market and industry data to prevent, detect, and prosecute improper behavior
- updating design, delivery, and content of disclosures to investors so they can access consistent, comparable, and material information while making investment decisions
The draft was developed in compliance with the Government Performance and Results Modernization Act of 2010, under which federal agencies must outline their missions, planned initiatives, and objectives for a four-year period.
The draft strategic plan sets forth three main objectives:
- protecting working families against fraud, manipulation, and misconduct
- supporting a skilled workforce that is diverse, equitable, inclusive, and is fully equipped to advance agency objectives
- developing and implementing a robust regulatory framework that keeps pace with evolving markets, business models, and technologies
Interested parties may provide feedback on the Draft 2022–2026 Strategic Plan on or before September 29, 2022 via the Commission’s Request for Comment form or other methods detailed in the Request for Comment notice.
