Instructions for navigating the SEC website.
https://www.sec.gov/
1 – The SEC uses a database called EDGAR to store company data (Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system). To use this database, click on “COMPANY FILINGS” on the upper right corner of the website (below the search box).
2 – Search initially by the company name “Apple Inc” and “Alphabet Inc”. Do not include the “.” in the search. Some companies may not use the “.” in their name, and you will not be able to find them (i.e., Apple Inc).
3 – If you search only by the first part of the name (“Apple” or “Alphabet”) you will get a number of different filings. You should double check the CIK (Central Index Key) before you pull the incorrect filing. The CIK for Apple is 0000320193. The CIK for Alphabet is 0001652044. You can also search by CIK, but since most people don’t know the CIK off hand, you should first attempt to use the name.
4 – The filing date and the year ended are not the same! The filing date will be 1-3 months after the year end.
