Ann Wagner (R-MO), which would require that the Commission no later than 180 days after enactment provide a report to Congress with a cost-benefit analysis of emerging growth companies’ use of Form 10-Q and recommendations for decreasing costs, increasing transparency, and increasing efficiency of quarterly financial reporting by emerging growth companies.
