Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission

The Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission (SESC) is Japan's regulatory authority responsible for overseeing securities and financial markets. Its main role is to monitor trading activities, enforce laws, and detect fraud or manipulation to ensure fair, transparent, and orderly markets. SESC investigates suspicious transactions, enforces securities laws, and collaborates with other regulatory bodies to protect investors and maintain confidence in the financial system. Essentially, it acts as a watchdog to prevent illegal activities and promote integrity within Japan’s financial markets.
