Securities and Exchange Commission
The SEC's Division of Enforcement polices U.S. securities markets — public-company disclosure, investment adviser and broker-dealer conduct, insider trading, and market manipulation — through standalone civil and administrative actions, follow-on proceedings, and delinquent-filer sweeps. Its fiscal year runs October 1 to September 30, and it publishes annual enforcement results each fall.
