New York, NY, January 13, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The Knowledge Congress, the leading producer of regulatory focused teleconferences has announced today that Karen Dietrich, Assistant Director of International Affairs of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board will speak at the Knowledge Congress’ upcoming teleconference entitled: “Foreign Private Issuers”.

In June of this year, the SEC implemented new rules that address the deregistration process for foreign private issuers. This rule should vastly simplify the process for companies that are contemplating listing securities on a U.S. stock exchange or raising funds through a U.S. registered offering. As with any sweeping change in regulation, there are number of options to consider in order to ensure that your company is best positioned to fully realize its benefits.
The Knowledge Congress has assembled a panel of distinguished experts to help make these policies clear to the organizations most impacted. The panel will present their findings, which include “Best Practices” in a two-hour teleconference.
