SEC to give probe subjects more notice

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has said it will give the subjects of investigations more time at the outset to respond to notices of potential charges and an opportunity to meet with staff within four weeks, as the agency moves to update its internal enforcement protocols, which were last published in 2017. The updated enforcement manual will ensure "greater uniformity," SEC enforcement director Margaret Ryan said. "We're trying to be more efficient.
