New York, NY, February 04, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The Knowledge Congress, the leading producer of regulatory focused webcasts announced today that Reid Feldman, Partner, of Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP will speak at the Knowledge Congress’ upcoming webcasts entitled: “Mutual Recognition”. This 2-hour event is scheduled on April 8, 2009, Wednesday, at 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM ET. (For further details of the event and an updated list of panelists, please visit: http://www.knowledgecongress.org/event_2008_mutual.html)
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.
