Description

The Securities and Exchange Commission is proposing amendments to allow companies to file semiannual reports on new Form 10-S instead of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q to meet interim reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The proposal includes changes to financial statement requirements of Regulation S-X to facilitate semiannual reporting and simplify rules regarding the age of financial statements. This amendment aims to provide companies flexibility in reporting frequency, potentially reducing compliance costs and encouraging more companies to remain public or go public. Comments on the proposal are due by July 6, 2026.
