The State of SEC Rulemaking and Why It Matters to Finance Leaders

The increasingly complex disclosure and reporting landscape matter to finance leaders

Recent requirements reflect investor interest in new categories of information and more granular disclosure. Meanwhile, court decisions have put a hold on other rules, introducing uncertainty as companies wait for these topics to fully work their way through the judicial process. 

With the modern finance executive’s scope widening, this replay of our recent session at FEI CFRI provides insight to help leaders navigate the increasingly complex landscape of regulated reporting. Former SEC commissioner Robert J. Jackson Jr and Jonathan Gregory of The Hershey Company discuss the state of play with SEC rule-making, and how the disclosure and reporting landscape is increasingly complex. 

Co-moderated by Steve Soter (Executive Advisor, Pro Groups) and Takis Makridis (President and CEO, Equity Methods), this session reviews the past, present, and future of SEC rulemaking. Topics include how the SEC has transformed the proxy statement into a document of high import to investors, ongoing litigation of the climate rule, revisited proxy advisor regulation, and what could be expected on the heels of the 2024 presidential election.

After this webinar, you will:
Identify notable examples of past rules made by the SEC and their impact on present day financial reporting
Understand the current regulatory environment and the impact of recent court intervention on the rollout of SEC rules, including on climate, share repurchases, proxy advisor regulation, and more
Explain best practices for interpreting and navigating currently challenged SEC rules
Apply strategies for preparing for potential future rules issued by the SEC
