SEC compliance essentially involves adhering to the rules both created and enforced by the Securities and Exchange Commission (otherwise known as SEC) in the United Sates. SEC as an agency was formed by Congress in 1934, and is a federal regulator of the securities market.

SEC claim their mission is to “protect investors, maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets, and facilitate capital formation.”

If you work within the US financial services sector, it’s vital that you hold an understanding of SEC and furthermore how to comply with SEC’s rules and regulations.
