The Securities and Exchange Commission's Office of Minority and Women Inclusion introduced on Thursday a Diversity Assessment Report for Entities Regulated by the SEC, which is designed to help SEC-regulated entities conduct self-assessments of their diversity policies and practices.
The Diversity Assessment Report complements the Interagency Policy Statement Establishing Joint Standards for Assessing the Diversity Policies and Practices of Entities Regulated by the Agencies issued by the SEC and five other federal financial regulatory agencies on June 10, 2015.
The Diversity Assessment Report also provides these entities with a template for submitting information about their self-assessments to OMWI.
The Joint Standards encourage regulated entities to publish information related to their self-assessments on their websites.
