This course provides guidance on responding to SEC proposed actions and to comment letters issued by SEC staff. We provide examples of the process for two proposed actions and responses. We provide five examples of comment letters relating to a filer's 10K, and one each for a 10Q and Proxy Statement.

This course takes some of the mystery out of what can be an intimidating SEC response process.
