Teams across corporate legal, investor relations, and transfer agency functions commonly prepare SEDAR filings before submission to Canadian regulators.
External advisors — securities counsel, auditors, and transfer agents — often review or deliver the final filing package to SEDAR on behalf of the issuer.
