EDGAR (SEC) If you are doing company research and you want to find information about a public company, a good database to start with is EDGAR from the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission. All public companies have to file their annual reports as well as other types of reports with the SEC. These reports are freely available and contain financial information, executive compensation, subsidiaries of a corporation, major investors and legal proceedings. Some of the major reports are:
EDGAR contains public company reports from 1994 to the present. The database can be searched using the company name, ticker symbol, or keywords. DOL employees: For the actual, unedited text of annual reports (including amendments) filed by U.S. public companies with the Securities and Exchange Commission from July 1987 to October 1997, use the Westlaw database SEC-AR. The database covers companies on the New York and American Stock Exchanges, as well as over 2,000 NASDAQ National Market Share companies. |
