Monitoring SEC Activities Reveals Insights into Investigation Procedures and Effects on Companies

New research conducted by William Christopher Gerken, Steven Irlbeck, Marcus Painter, and Guangli Zhang offers groundbreaking insights into the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) investigatory processes by analyzing geolocation data from SEC-associated smartphone devices. This analysis reveals that 84% of SEC visits to company headquarters occur outside formal investigations, highlighting a significant level of monitoring that traditional research methods have overlooked. The study also found that larger firms and those with previous enforcement actions are visited more frequently. Notably, stock prices tend to drop between 1.4% and 1.94% in the months following these visits, prompting insider trading decisions that illustrate the influence of regulatory scrutiny. Overall, the findings underscore the importance of understanding the SEC’s oversight practices and their implications for market behavior.
