Definitions for "SEDAR"
An electronic filing system (the System for Electronic Document Analysis Retrieval) that enables companies to file prospectuses and continuous disclosure documents.
SEDAR (the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval) is the system used for electronically filing most securities related information with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities. Filing with SEDAR is now mandatory for most reporting issuers in Canada.
The System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) was developed in Canada for the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) to facilitate the electronic filing of securities information as required by the securities regulatory agencies in Canada; allow for the public dissemination of Canadian securities information collected in the securities filing process; and provide electronic communication between electronic filers, agents and the Canadian securities regulatory agencies. This Web site provides a listing of filings that have become publicly accessible in the SEDAR database as of the most recently completed business day.
