How Can EA16 Help Me File Section 16 Documents?
Back in 2010 the SEC updated its FAQs for Section 16 rules and regulations.  The FAQs are a great resource to help companies understand the procedures for filing electronically and addresses specific questions related to a company’s officers and directors.
