Google may be the best Web site for conducting Internet searches, but the investor relations section of its Web site is woefully inadequate. In fact, it’s simply not there. Also absent are certain SEC filings, like “Form 4” insider transactions, which must be posted on the company’s Web site by the end of the business day after the filing. Google’s failure to post certain filings has led some to wonder whether the company has violated SEC and exchange-level disclosure rules.
Since Google’s shares began trading after its celebrated IPO in mid-August, none of the company’s SEC filings have been made available on its Web site.
