Form 8-K SEC Reporting Essentials Workshop 2026 (Sponsored Event)

In this virtual workshop for SEC reporting professionals, using the SEC’s guidance discussed in our SEC 101 Reporting Essentials for Financial Professionals Workshop: Legal Foundations & SEC Research Tools, or the SEC 101 Reporting Essentials for Lawyers Workshop: Legal Foundations & SEC Research Tools, you will build the practical knowledge base, skills and tools required to prepare and review Current Reports on Form 8-K and determine when they may be required by the SEC. 

Many Form 8-K Items have a four-business day deadline. This somewhat compressed deadline is a potential pitfall, particularly when loss of Securities Act Form S-3 eligibility is one of the results of a delinquent Form 8-K. You will learn how to recognize the triggering events that require a Form 8-K to be filed or furnished, when a voluntary Form 8-K may be appropriate, and which Form 8-K Items qualify for the “safe harbor” that preserves a company’s S-3 filing eligibility even in the face of an otherwise tardy Form 8-K. In the Workshop the required disclosures and compliance tips for the most frequent Form 8-K Items will be reviewed. 

This is an interactive Workshop (via Zoom), during which participants are encouraged to participate in Form 8-K practice exercises and discussions intended to enhance and deepen the learning process.

This event is hosted by the Practicing Law Institute (PLI), a Community Sponsor of Pro Groups. PLI is a nonprofit learning organization dedicated to keeping attorneys and other professionals at the forefront of knowledge and expertise.
