SEC to Discuss US Regulatory Reform at June London Conference
Commissioner Elisse Walter and five senior SEC officials will survey pending US regulatory reforms and key SEC issues at the 14th annual conference, SEC Regulation Outside the United States.
Walter heads a distinguished conference faculty of five current and nine former SEC officials, Dan Waters of the FSA and leading industry experts. The conference, now in its 14th year in London and the only event of its kind in the world, explores US and SEC regulatory developments as they affect non-US persons. This faculty will analyse and guide conference attendees through the developments that are having an impact on the world’s markets, including US regulatory reform, hedge fund regulation, enforcement actions on insider trading and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and corporate governance and disclosure “hot topics”.
The Conference will take place on Thursday, 10 June, at the Copthorne Tara Hotel London, Scarsdale Place, Kensington, London.
Mark Berman, CompliGlobe ceo and the conference founder, says: “This conference brings key SEC officials and market participants together in a unique manner, something that no other event outside the United States does. It is the best, probably only means, to understand and discuss US regulatory developments.”
Michael Cole-Fontayn, executive vice president & ceo, BNY Mellon Depositary Receipts, comments: "The conference and its workshops are unique in the way that they provide insights on cutting edge regulatory changes in US markets. We believe that ongoing education is key to enabling intelligent and accurate dialogue with new and prospective DR issuers, as well as investors."
