  • Method for submitting securities and exchange commission filings utilizing the EDGAR system
    Publication number: 20040098666
    Abstract: A method is provided for overcoming the problems associated with the arcane EDGAR software used by the Securities and Exchange Commission in the completion and filing of SEC forms. Upon login, the correct SEC form is presented to the user with the appropriate template, which when completed is in HTML, the language used by EDGAR. Once the form is completed, the system bypasses all but one link in the Securities and Exchange Commission website and transmits the completed form directly to the SEC's transmittal page, thus eliminating the necessity for viewing or interpreting the SEC website. Form completion, re-formatting and electronic filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission is accomplished by having a software program function as a web browser which goes to only one location, namely the place on the SEC website where file uploads occur.
