A Matter Under Inquiry (MUI, pronounced "muey",〔 sometimes called Matter Under Investigation〔) is a term used by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to describe preliminary investigations it makes into alleged financial fraud in the companies that it is responsible for regulating. MUIs may lead to more serious formal investigations, or they may be closed and no further action taken.〔〔 The procedures and rules for when and how to open and close MUIs are described in the agency's Enforcement Manual (which was first published in 2008),〔(Enforcement Manual ), sec.gov, August 2, 2011, retreieved August 17, 2011.〕〔(SEC Adopts Enforcement Manual ) gibsondunn.com, 2008, retrieved 2011 October 17〕 as well as other SEC memorandum 〔 In the 2000s (decade) era, any MUI that was not cancelled, automatically became an 'informal investigation' after a certain period of time. The American Spectator published an article in 2006 by Peter Wallison criticizing this practice, and arguing that it was too difficult for SEC employees to close investigations that it deemed unwarranted.〔 MUIs are tracked in the SEC's computerized Case Activity Tracking System (CATS).〔 Some information related to MUIs may also exist or have existed in the past in other SEC computer systems, such as the Super Tracking and Reporting System "STARS", the Name Relationship Search Index (NRSI), and the "Hub".〔 == Notable MUIs == MUIs are given "MUI number" codes,〔 and also sometimes referred to by titles.
