The OSC is an Ontario Crown agency which reports to the Ontario legislature through the Minister of Finance.

Other notable provincial regulators include the Alberta Securities Commission, the Autorité des marchés financiers (Québec), and the British Columbia Securities Commission.
The OSC's mandate is to:
The OSC administers the Ontario Securities Act and the Commodity Futures Act and with about 500 employees, is the largest securities regulator in Canada and has the Toronto Stock Exchange within its jurisdiction.
From inception, the OSC was run by a chairman who was the de facto chief executive of the commission. Following the proclamation of the Securities Commission Act, 2021 on 29 April 2022, a separate chief executive officer was created and the chairman became a non-executive office.
Upon the proclamation of the Securities Commission Act, 2021 on 29 April 2022, the duties of chairman and chief executive were separated and a new office of the chief executive officer was created. The CEO is also a director of the commission.
