[81]
the foremost question that we have is why SEC filing is important why SEC this
[90]
right for you filings is important this is the one big
[96]
question that I have and we'll be discussing few points over here see it is
[100]
imperative to understand very important to understand that you know SEC is a
[103]
regulatory watch-dog you know which is created for the investors benefit see it
[110]
collects all the documents and which details out the financial and the
[114]
operational health of the companies which have stock owned and
[117]
traded by the public the SEC checks the quality of the information provided and
[123]
has rights to prop the companies in case of certain information is not clearly
[128]
provided investors use these filings to make assessment of the company's
[133]
performances so this is the prime reason well that is why the reported
[138]
information becomes really very important and in the next sections that
[143]
we are going to will be discussing different
[145]
types of filings let's learn each of them one by one as you can see over in the
[150]
picture we have form number 10k from 10 Q and we have 8 K 10 K is basically
[157]
annual presentation the annual financial statements the performance and the
[162]
results related to the same 10 Q as the Q specify its quarterly I mean it
[168]
doesn't mean this K is for annually and Q's for quarterly it's just the name
[172]
they have given 8 K is SEC a requirement to communicate any material information
[177]
that may be useful to the investor so those are the different types of the
[181]

foremost thing let's learn see offering registration file under Securities
[210]
Act 1993 basically it says that you know this statement is used to register
[214]
securities before they are offered to the larger audience like investors so it
[218]
has basically provided into two parts one which is preliminary prospectus and
[226]
second one contains certain information which is not required to be filed with
[230]
the prospectus so the statement very in the purpose and the content depending
[236]
upon the kind of the organization which is issuing stock so in case the
[239]
corporate initiate an offering statement it is evaluated by SEC so if SEC require
[246]
any changes in the document the same is informed with the corporate post that
[250]
you know the document is made available to the investor so that the sale of the
[254]
security can be initiated let me show you something this is basically the form

[344]
times is like you know the risk factors it's really very important and you know
[351]
