The SEC has confirmed that it will not file an enforcement action against Apple in connection with its stock-options backdating investigation, despite Apple's CFO Fred Anderson's claims that Apple CEO Steve Jobs told him to backdate options.
In a statement obtained by MacNN the SEC praised Apple for cooperating. The organization explained: “Apple's cooperation consisted of, among other things, prompt self-reporting, an independent internal investigation, the sharing of the results of that investigation with the government, and the implementation of new controls designed to prevent the recurrence of fraudulent conduct.”
