The members of the Commission act jointly to set and enforce the rules that govern the securities markets and its participants. The Chair is responsible for overseeing the executive and administrative functions of the agency. This includes supervision over approximately 4,500 staff members who are organized into 6 divisions and 25 offices located in the Washington, DC, headquarters and 11 regional locations.
The draft strategic plan establishes 3 primary goals:
- Protecting working families against fraud, manipulation, and misconduct;
- Developing and implement a robust regulatory framework that keeps pace with evolving markets, business models, and technologies; and
- Supporting a skilled workforce that is diverse, equitable, inclusive, and is fully equipped to advance agency objectives.
Among the initiatives to meet these goals, the SEC intends to enhance the use of market and industry data to prevent, detect, and prosecute improper behavior. The SEC also seeks to modernize design, delivery, and content of disclosures to investors so they can access consistent, comparable, and material information while making investment decisions.
The agency aims to update existing SEC rules and approaches to reflect evolving technologies, business models, and capital markets. To support its diversity and inclusion efforts, the SEC will focus on recruiting, training, and retaining staff with the right mix of skills, experience, and expertise.
The draft plan was prepared in accordance with the Government Performance and Results Modernization Act of 2010, which requires federal agencies to outline their missions, planned initiatives, and strategic goals for a four-year period.
