Commissioners of the government’s watchdog for Wall Street will face questions about their efforts to protect investors and oversee markets during a House hearing on Tuesday.

Members of the House Financial Services Committee will line up Tuesday afternoon to ask Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Christopher Cox and the four other SEC commissioners about the agency’s activities in a range of different areas at an oversight hearing.

“There are enough issues that the SEC is working on that we wanted to have a full, wide-ranging discussion,” said Steve Adamske, a committee spokesman.

Among those issues are the agency’s implementation of accounting rules under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, its oversight of hedge funds, its enforcement policies, private securities litigation and access to proxy ballots.
