The SECG typically refers to Small Entity Compliance Guide—a type of guidance issued by U.S. regulatory agencies, especially the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), to help small businesses understand and comply with complex rules.
Here’s a breakdown:
Purpose:
SECGs are meant to simplify and explain new or amended SEC rules in plain language, making them easier for smaller companies (which may not have large legal teams) to follow.
Legal Basis:
The SEC is required by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (SBREFA) to prepare SECGs when it issues rules that have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities.
Contents:
These guides usually cover:
Who the rule applies to
What the rule requires
Compliance deadlines
Examples and FAQs
Example Topics:
Disclosure requirements
Financial reporting updates
Changes under acts like the JOBS Act or Dodd-Frank
