Rivet & the SEC

Rivet Software supports the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and its vision for more transparent investor information by designing products and services to help realize that vision.

The Rivet team has worked with both the SEC and filers in the SEC’s XBRL filing program since its inception. In that time, we’ve learned a lot about how to make XBRL work and continue to deliver real value to the nascent financial information ecosystem.

• Rivet built the SEC rendering engine that allows individual XBRL-based financial reports to be viewed on the SEC website.
• Rivet built the SEC rendering engine that displays filed mutual fund prospectuses on the SEC website.
• Rivet built the rendering engine that allows you to view and navigate the entire financial information ecosystem of SEC filings.

Rivet continues to work to help make the SEC’s vision of interactive data a reality.
