Securities Mosaic Home Page   [top]
 

Content Tabs & Menu Cards  [top]

 

Six content tabs identify the major Securities Mosaic information clusters--Disclosure, Regulation, Enforcement & Litigation, SROs, Guidance, and News. Each of these six tabs has its own "menu card" containing links to related search pages. Just click a content tab to show the set of databases available for you to search in that substantive area. On some menu cards, you'll find links to late breaking news and pertinent regulatory information in the bottom section.

 

Clicking a link on a menu card, such as All SEC Filings on the Disclosure card, will take you to a search page. At the top right of any search page, click Data Details for a summary of the database contents, or click Help to view database-specific user guidance. For additional help with searching, browse our resources under Customer Support (on the left of the home page) or contact us at support@knowledgmosaic.com.

 

The Resources area provides links to current newsworthy topics. The Spotlight is a compilation of resources on a recent topic of interest to the securities industry. Past Spotlights are archived on the News & Spotlight Archive page. The Paper Trail is a link to a recently published document of interest relating to corporate and securities regulation.
