Event Synopsis
The SEC’s Office of Corporation Finance issues interpretations of SEC disclosure requirements in guidance documents known as Compliance & Disclosure Interpretations (C&DIs). Although these staff-written interpretations, written in response to requests dealing with specific circumstances, are non-binding and informal in nature, they are closely watched as general guidance on how the SEC staff is currently interpreting U.S. securities laws. The SEC staff currently is updating and reformatting its interpretive positions, and accounting and finance staff, consultants, and corporate lawyers need to understand how to find and use the newly formatted information.
A panel of government officials and corporate disclosure experts will discuss the latest C&DI guidance and the new format in a Live two-hour Webcast presented by the Knowledge Congress.
