The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced a new exemption for micro enterprises, removing the requirement to submit audited financial statements (AFS) as part of their annual reporting.

Under Memorandum Circular No. 4, Series of 2026, issued on 20 January, both stock and non-stock corporations with total assets or liabilities not exceeding PHP 3 million are now exempt from the mandatory audit.

Previously set at PHP 600,000, the new limit represents a substantial increase in the exemption threshold.

SEC Chairperson Francis Lim stated that the reform aims to make compliance more proportionate for smaller businesses.

Corporations that qualify for the exemption must instead submit financial statements accompanied by a Statement of Management’s Responsibility (SMR).

This document must be signed under oath by the corporation’s key officers, such as the chairman, president, or treasurer, who assume full responsibility for the accuracy of the submission.

The new threshold applies to financial statements for fiscal years ending on or after 31 December 2025.

The exemption does not apply to certain entities vested with public interest, such as public companies, investment houses, and financing companies, which remain subject to stricter reporting requirements.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
