The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) will launch a new, web-based securities filing system called SEDAR+ (sedarplus.ca). Orignally scheduled for June 13th, 2023, the CSA anounced on June 1st that the launch would be delayed until July 25th, 2023. SEDAR+ represents the most significant change to occur to the Canadian regulatory filing system since the launch of the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) in 1997.

Originally scheduled for release on June 13th, 2023, the CSA announced on June 1st that the launch would be delayed until July 25th, 2023. This upgrade to the SEDAR system has been in the works for over a decade and will come with a number of significant changes to issuer profile data and filing data.

Some of the 100+ new and updated data points in SEDAR+ include:

Cease trade order flag
Disciplinary action flag
Disclosure default flag
Security types
Formation information
Financial year end
Names of CEO & CFO
NAICS industry
