4 New Year’s Resolutions for Public Companies

It’s January 2015! What is your New Year’s resolution? If you don’t have one, it’s not too late. While many set personal goals such as spending more time with their family or getting in shape, it’s also a great time to think about professional goals.

The experts at Edgar Agents have come up with 4 Resolutions to help public companies (and their financial, legal, executive and IR teams) better manage all their financial reporting requirements. They are:

Get Organized
A key requirement for filing on time is being organized and understanding the process. Create a check list of what needs to get done, who is responsible, and when is should get done (in an ideal world). Print the check list and have it handy. When filing season approaches, you will be organized and ready!

Leverage Technology
Technology is all around us, leverage online tools, software and widgets to help simplify Section16 reporting or even posting XBRL filings to corporate/investor relations sites. Want to learn more about the tools available for this?  Edgar Agents can help with our XBRL Widget or EA16 portal.

Stay Connected
Stay on top of all the latest industry news and SEC guidelines using social media. Here are just a few recommendations on who to follow on twitter @FEIblog, @dailyFEI, @Complianceweek, @XBRLInt, @SEC_News, @XBRLnews, and don’t forget @EdgarAgentsLLC.

Partner Up
Public companies don’t have to go it alone when it comes to financial reporting. Partnering with a full-service SEC filing agent, such as Edgar Agents, will help simplify your filings by guiding you through the process. The right partner will take time to understand your business and specific requirements. They will work with you through every step – 24×7 – to make sure your filings are accurate.
