An SEC email address mix-up is causing confusion and threatening to disrupt its proposal to scrap quarterly reporting requirements

The SEC's proposal to allow public companies to report financial results twice a year instead of quarterly caused confusion due to a typo in the email address listed for public comments. The agency listed '[email protected]' in the proposal but has historically used '[email protected]' (with an 's') for other rules. Better Markets, an investor advocacy group, argued the error may have prevented some from submitting feedback, while the SEC claims both addresses are valid.
