Compliance market log: dated announcements, 2025 to 2026

Short answer

Dated items from the vendor and AICPA pages we read, newest first, each with a source link. None of them changed a published price in our census; the pricing census records prices as read on 2026-09-29.

The log holds only items found on the pages we read. Other vendors' dated announcements were not in that material, so their absence says nothing about their activity.
