After a five-year hiatus, the SEC’s irrepressible Office of Risk Assessment is back yet again. In a press release yesterday, the SEC announced that it had created a new office within the Division of Economic and Risk Analysis (DERA) that will “coordinate efforts to provide data-driven risk assessment tools and models to support a wide range of SEC activities.” That new office will be called the Office of Risk Assessment, and long-time SEC followers may find that the name rings a bell.
