A key committee of the Securities and Exchange Commission pondering ways to make compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act more palatable planned to meet this week to discuss publishing a draft of its final recommendations.

The SEC’s Committee on Smaller Public Companies was scheduled to meet Tuesday to wrap up its efforts and ready a draft for public comment. The panel, formed to examine the effect of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other federal securities laws on smaller public companies, is expected to deliver its final report to the SEC in April.
