What is EDGAR Next?
EDGAR Next changes filer access and account management. Individuals acting for filers use their own Login.gov credentials and must have an appropriate authorized role.

Did EDGAR Next change filing deadlines?

Who completes annual confirmation?

What if annual confirmation is late?
