Disclosure Insight® Begins Releasing SEC Records Acquired under the FOIA
- Data on undisclosed SEC investigations and historical comment letters now available for free.
- Disclosure Insight® stays focused as a publisher of investment research.
In a move certain to make public companies think twice about holding back disclosure of Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) investigations, Disclosure Insight® (formerly known as SEC Insight) is releasing data it acquires from the SEC under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) for free. This includes the only data of its kind in the private sector regarding undisclosed SEC investigations, as well as historical SEC comment letters previously only available through a commercial provider or filing a FOIA request.
Disclosure Insight® currently tracks over 60 companies on its D.I. Watch List™ where FOIA data indicates undisclosed SEC investigative activity of some kind. Alerts and updates on undisclosed SEC investigations will now be provided on a complimentary basis as new FOIA data comes in. To receive them, simply sign up to receive the D.I. Mailbox™ at www.disclosureinsight.com. For a limited time, access to the D.I. Watch List™ is also available to those who sign-up for the D.I. Mailbox™. No registration is required to access the historical SEC comment letters.
Not all SEC investigations are of consequence to investors. Like many risk factors, SEC investigations can also have severe consequences. To help investors better assess and understand the risks they face when investing in the securities of a public company, Disclosure Insight® is introducing its D.I. Report™. This new investment research publication examines 100 separate risk factors for a public company over a 5-year history of its filings. A recent D.I. Report™ on a major U.S. company is posted as a sample at www.disclosureinsight.com.
When asked why Disclosure Insight® was releasing its valuable FOIA data for free, CEO John P. Gavin said, “As a publisher and independent research provider, our business has always been about analysis and publishing, not selling FOIA records. Now that we have the platform to release our FOIA records, we hope to compel public companies to improve their disclosure practices when it comes to SEC and other risks that are so often wrapped in useless boilerplate or hidden from investors.”
