Let’s look at some of the additional ways Intelligize’s solutions and resources can enhance your accounting-related SEC compliance research.
Disclosure Benchmarking
Our Disclosure Benchmarking Section Matrix tools enable you to create section matrices to analyze and benchmark your peers’ disclosures in their MD&A, Notes to Financial Statements, Risk Factors, and Business sections. You can research information / data included in your peers’ disclosures (that may be missing from your own disclosures) and view how your peers have dealt with various accounting issues and applicable regulations.
SEC Filings
Our SEC Filings solution helps you streamline your financial disclosure benchmarking by searching and extracting information from tabular data (in SEC filings), including financial, compensation, and pay vs. performance data.
You can even compare tables across different filers to prepare your own disclosures and ensure you’re leveraging market standard language.
Securities Regulation & Compliance
Intelligize’s Securities Regulation & Compliance solution enables you to research applicable regulations and SEC administrative material relevant to your disclosures, including accounting-related material such as SEC staff accounting bulletins and accounting/auditing enforcement releases.
Firm Memos
Intelligize’s Firm Memos solution presents a collection of memos written by law, accounting, and consulting firms that provide information, analysis, and guidance on a wide variety of topics, including accounting-related matters.
SEC Comment Letters
Intelligize’s Comment Letters solution enables you to analyze SEC comments regarding your peers’ accounting-related disclosures, from the initial comment letter to the resolution of the SEC’s concerns. These resources can provide you with insight as you seek to optimize your own disclosures and avoid your peers’ mistakes.
