Frequently Asked Questions

Can I search SEC enforcement by company or topic?

Yes. `sec_enforcement` searches SEC litigation releases and accounting or auditing enforcement releases by keyword and date range.

Can I check CFPB cases or FDIC bank failures?

`cfpb_enforcement` covers consumer finance actions, and `fdic_failures` lists bank failures with year and state filters for quick banking-sector checks.

Can I follow new rules and proposed rules from federal agencies?

`federal_register` searches rules, proposed rules, notices, and presidential documents by keyword, document type, or agency slug.

How do I narrow the results when I only care about one regulator?

Use the regulator-specific filters: `federal_register` for agency and document type, `cfpb_enforcement` for a keyword plus limit, and `fdic_failures` for year or state.
