The OTC is a for profit company. FINRA has nothing to do with regular filings and the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance reviews documents that publicly-held companies are required to file with the Commission.



The documents include:

registration statements for newly-offered securities;
annual and quarterly filings (Forms 10-K and 10-Q);
proxy materials sent to shareholders before an annual meeting;
annual reports to shareholders;
documents concerning tender offers (a tender offer is an offer to buy a large number of shares of a corporation, usually at a premium above the current market price); and
filings related to mergers and acquisitions.
These documents disclose information about the companies' financial condition and business practices to help investors make informed investment decisions. Through the Division's review process, the staff monitors compliance with disclosure requirements and seeks to improve the quality of the disclosure. To meet the SEC's requirements for disclosure, a company issuing securities or whose securities are publicly traded must make available all information, whether it is positive or negative, that might be relevant to an investor's decision to buy, sell, or hold the security.

A Form 8-K is the “current report” companies must file with the SEC to announce major events that shareholders should know about.
