Scope of Reviews

If the Division selects a company or a filing for review, the extent of that review will depend on many factors, including the criteria set forth in Section 408 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the factors identified through our selective review criteria. The scope of a review may be:

a full cover-to-cover review in which the staff will examine the entire filing for compliance with the applicable accounting standards and the disclosure requirements of the federal securities laws and regulations;

a financial statement review in which the staff will examine the financial statements and related disclosure, such as Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, for compliance with the applicable accounting standards and the disclosure requirements of the federal securities laws and regulations; or

a targeted issue review in which the staff will examine the filing for one or more specific items of disclosure for compliance with the applicable accounting standards and/or the disclosure requirements of the federal securities laws and regulations.

Staff Comments

The staff may provide a company with comments where the staff believes a company can significantly enhance its compliance with the applicable requirements. The range of possible comments is broad and depends on the issues that arise in a particular filing review.
