The
Shareholders Research Alliance develops programs
and processes that result in the increased availability
of independent financial research on small companies
whose shares are publicly traded in the U.S. market.
Programs and processes to be
developed and monitored by the SRA include:
-
Developing standards defining
independent research and independent research
providers
-
Encouraging small public companies to
commission ongoing independent research
-
Encouraging independent research
providers to subscribe to standards of performance
that ensure professional research quality and avoid
inappropriate bias
-
Facilitation of the process that
links public companies needing commissioned research
with qualified independent research providers in a
manner conforming to the independent research
criteria set out by the SEC
-
Developing and furthering mechanisms
to insure the broad and immediate distribution of
independent research reports to the individual
investor community
-
Developing mechanisms that engage the
individual investor community in the SRA and its
monitoring processes of independent research to
establish transparent, trusted and non-biased
research analysis of smaller publicly traded
companies.
