Corporate governance has become a mantra to regulatory bodies, and public companies must acknowledge and respond. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has rewritten the rules for corporate governance, disclosure, reporting and auditing. SEC rules are undeniably complicated, and implementation can be both time consuming and costly. We recognize that it is essential for institutional and individual shareholders to feel confident in corporate governance.

For public companies selecting a professional service provider, extensive SEC experience is absolutely critical. bmc is uniquely positioned as one of the leading firms in the country serving publicly traded companies. As such, we bring broad experience in navigating the nuances of the complex regulatory environment in which public companies operate.

Our professionals are well-versed with the regulations governing SEC registrants and stay current on actions of the SEC that affect our clients through various quarterly updates, direct access to SEC personnel on specific issues, and by reviewing recent events and actions on a regular basis from the SEC’s web site on the Internet. On a national basis, we have working relationships with personnel at the SEC, FASB and other oversight bodies.
