The amended rules, if approved, would require each fee table and accompanying disclosure to include all required information for fee calculation (not just certain aspects, as is the case under the current rules) in a structured format using inline XBRL. This would purportedly allow the SEC to better automate the fee verification on their end and in theory make the fee process more efficient. The proposed amendments would also add the option for fee payment via Automated Clearing House ("ACH") and eliminate the option for fee payment via paper checks and money orders. 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.sullivanlaw.com/secpulse/sec-proposes-changes-to-fee-payment-and-disclosure-rules#comments-listing) Topics: [SEC Filings](https://blog.sullivanlaw.com/secpulse/topic/sec-filings), [Automated Clearing House](https://blog.sullivanlaw.com/secpulse/topic/automated-clearing-house), [ACH](https://blog.sullivanlaw.com/secpulse/topic/ach) [All posts](https://blog.sullivanlaw.com/secpulse/all) [![Sullivan 4c](https://blog.sullivanlaw.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Sullivan%20logos/Sullivan%204c.png?width=220&name=Sullivan%204c.png "Sullivan 4c")](http://www.sandw.com) ### About the Blog --- The SEC Pulse provides updates and commentary from our Capital Markets Group on issues affecting publicly traded and privately owned businesses, investment banks and foreign companies who trade or raise capital in the United States, and boards of directors and company officers in securities transactions and corporate governance matters. *The material on this site is for general information only and is not legal advice.
