New York, NY, January 07, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The Knowledge Congress, the leading producer of regulatory focused webinars, announced today that it has scheduled a live webinar on Mutual Recognition. This two-hour event is scheduled on Wednesday, April 8, 2009, at 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM (ET – New York).
This program will focus on the initiatives of the Securities and Exchange Commission and foreign securities market regulators aimed at increasing cross-border access to capital markets, including
· Proposed systems of mutual recognition among high-quality national securities market regulatory regimes, through agreements with foreign regulators (already reached with Australia and under discussion with Canadian and European regulators)
· Use of the SEC's exemptive power (including the proposed amendment to Rule 15a-6 to broaden the access of foreign broker-dealers to US markets relating to foreign broker-dealers),
· The recent amendment to Rule 12g3-2(b) relating to foreign private issuers (significantly expanding access to investment in foreign securities through ADRs).
Similar developments in respect of accounting standards (including recognition of IFRS for US issuers) are also under discussion.
Panelists will discuss how these developments impact issuers and broker-dealers in the U.S. and abroad; the attitudes of the SEC and foreign securities regulators; and policy considerations applicable to mutual recognition on accounting issues.
