WASHINGTON—The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) director of enforcement on Friday said the agency’s fiscal year 2021 enforcement figures will be “slightly down” from the prior year.
Speaking to a gathering of attorneys, SEC enforcement director Gurbir Grewal said the data, expected to be published within weeks, will show a decline versus fiscal 2020, but that the agency’s standalone actions are up and the staff are bringing “first of their kind” cases. Fiscal 2020 ended on Sept. 30.
