Companies must now name a human to manage their SEC filings

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is changing how companies access their online filing system. Every company must now name a specific person to manage its account, and that person needs their own individual login.

For years, companies could use shared logins or generic accounts to file documents with the SEC. This made it hard to track who did what, and who was responsible if something went wrong. Now, every action on the system will be tied to a specific individual, making it much easier to audit and assign accountability.
