Summary

The SEC has updated its disclosure guidance page, consolidating various topics related to financial disclosures. Several guidance topics have been withdrawn, with specific dates noted for their supersession or withdrawal.

What changed

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has updated its disclosure guidance page, which serves as a central repository for staff guidance on various financial disclosure topics. This update includes the withdrawal of several previously issued guidance topics, such as those related to Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs), Coronavirus (COVID-19) considerations, and Cybersecurity. The withdrawn SPAC guidance has been superseded by final rules published in January 2024, while other withdrawn guidance has future withdrawal dates noted.

While this update primarily consolidates and withdraws existing guidance, it signifies a shift in the SEC's approach to these specific disclosure areas. Companies should review the listed guidance topics to ensure they are referencing the most current and applicable information. Particular attention should be paid to the withdrawn topics and their superseding regulations or withdrawal dates to maintain compliance with current disclosure requirements.

What to do next

  1. Review the SEC's disclosure guidance page for any updates relevant to your company's disclosures.
  2. Note the withdrawn guidance topics and ensure compliance with superseding rules or current best practices.
  3. Consult with legal counsel regarding any specific disclosure requirements impacted by these updates.
