Hi Mike,
Thank you for the comprehensive summary and key information about EDGAR Next. We have a few questions that we hope Workiva can help us with as we navigate these changes.
- How many delegations can one CIK have? We have other groups outside of financial reporting that use Broadridge, DFIN, and other software for Section 16 filings, which will also need delegation.
- With the various options available for Section 16 filings, would any of them reduce the number of delegations per CIK?
- We have multiple registrants and typically file a combined report. However, there are instances where we file on behalf of one registrant depending on the circumstances. How will it work if a registrant is a co-registrant in one filing but a standalone registrant in another?
