The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is the federal agency responsible for regulating and overseeing the financial markets in the U.S., including the securities industry. The Treasury Department oversees the nation's finances and currency, but does not regulate the financial markets. The National Association of Securities Dealers is a self-regulatory organization for the securities industry, but it is not a federal agency. The Over the Counter Commission does not exist. The Federal Reserve is responsible for monetary policy and maintaining the stability of the financial system, but it is not the primary regulator of the financial markets.
