The SEC’s just-released enforcement statistics for FY 2013 show that the agency filed just 68 “Financial Fraud/Issuer Disclosure” cases in 2013 (via Francine McKenna). According to data compiled earlier this year by FTI’s Marty Wilczynski, these 68 cases represent the fewest financial fraud cases the agency has brought in at least the last 16 years, and mark the sixth consecutive year in which the number of financial fraud cases filed has declined.
