SEC Overview: Regulations, Enforcement, and Corporate Compliance 1 Credit
Select your learning mode
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) plays a critical role in maintaining fair and transparent financial markets. Established in response to the 1929 stock market crash, the SEC protects investors, enforces securities laws, and ensures businesses comply with financial disclosure regulations. However, how does the SEC operate, and what are its key responsibilities?
This course will explain the SEC’s mission and highlight its impact on corporate transparency, investor protection, and financial regulation. We’ll explore its five major divisions, from enforcement actions against fraud to regulating stock exchanges and financial advisors. Additionally, we will examine real-world case studies, including the Theranos fraud case, Coinbase’s crypto compliance challenges, and SolarWinds' cybersecurity enforcement.
We will also discuss how SEC regulations shape corporate governance, from ESG reporting and climate disclosures (e.g., Tesla and Deutsche Bank’s greenwashing penalties) to market integrity and trading practices like payment-for-order flow (PFOF). A key part of the SEC’s regulatory framework is Anti-Money Laundering (AML) enforcement. We’ll cover major AML cases, enforcement trends, and best practices for companies to strengthen their compliance frameworks and ensure they meet SEC and global financial crime prevention standards.
Major Topics:
Understanding the SEC is crucial for investors, financial professionals, and corporate leaders navigating the complexities of compliance and emerging financial regulations. This course will equip you with key insights into SEC oversight, corporate governance, and best practices for maintaining compliance.
