What is the 'Securities And Exchange Commission - SEC'. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is a government commission created by U.S. Congress with goals of protecting investors, maintaining fair and orderly functioning of securities markets, and facilitating capital formation.
A SEC filing is a financial statement or other formal document submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Public companies, certain insiders, and broker-dealers are required to make regular SEC filings.

Many, but not all SEC filings are available online through the SEC's EDGAR database.
