Manisha Kimmel to Conclude Tenure as Senior Policy Advisor to the Chair on the Consolidated Audit Trail

The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that Manisha Kimmel will conclude her tenure as Senior Policy Advisor, Regulatory Reporting, at the end of this month. Since joining the SEC in January 2019, Ms. Kimmel has coordinated the SEC's oversight of the creation and implementation of the Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT) by the self-regulatory organizations (SROs). As the primary interface with internal and external stakeholders, Ms. Kimmel has been responsible for assessing CAT development progress, shepherding CAT-related exemptive orders and Commission rulemaking through the agency, and establishing internal governance structures to support cross-divisional coordination and decision-making. "Manisha's leadership has been essential in moving CAT towards effectiveness as a tool for market oversight," said SEC Acting Chair Allison Herren Lee.
