Michael Piwowar has announced his plans to leave the US Securities agency upon the official end of his term on July 7, 2018, or the swearing in of his successor – whichever comes first. Mr Piwowar highlighted his intentions to move on whilst also remarking “we accomplished a great deal for the ‘forgotten investor’ in a short period of time”. Mr Piwowar has been a strong supporter of modernisation of a range of data processes at the SEC, and, as Acting Chairman, approved the existing voluntary Inline XBRL arrangements: an excellent initiative!
