HONG KONG, Feb 25, 2010 - (ACN Newswire) - This year may well present the most fundamental challenges to our markets ever, possibly beyond the challenges of 1929. InvestoRegulation, a leading specialist provider of financial services conferences in the UK and Asia, announces a 2-part conference, "SEC Basics" on March 23, and "SEC Regulation Outside the United States" on March 24, in Hong Kong.
The only conference of its kind in the world, explores the turning-point issues, and other cutting-edge developments. A faculty of current and former senior SEC officials, non-US regulators and distinguished industry leaders will guide you through the developments that have had an incalculable impact on the world's markets and the 'real economy' - and the SEC's role in this.
"SEC Basics" is an intensive, interactive workshop that examines the workings and structure of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.S. securities laws and the SEC's rules and regulations. The workshop is suitable for those with little or no knowledge of the U.S securities laws, the SEC and the SEC's rules and regulations.
"SEC Regulation Outside the United States" explores the effects of the credit crisis, the SEC's response and how the SEC regulates capital markets. A faculty of current and former senior SEC officials, non-US regulators and distinguished industry leaders will guide you through the developments that have had an incalculable impact on the world's markets and the "real economy" - and the SEC's role in this.
- The world remains seized by the credit crisis: how are the SEC and other regulators responding?
- Public offerings have all but dried up. How are non-US issuers accessing the US markets?
- Sweeping enforcement actions were taken against fraud and manipulation, and auction rate securities misselling: how did these address credit crisis concerns?
- Stock prices continue to fall. Volumes are down. A money market fund "broke the buck." Short selling restrictions were introduced. Dark pool trading is back. Credit rating agencies are receiving enhanced scrutiny. How will the markets respond?
- Hedge funds face massive redemptions and losses. Prime brokers have disappeared or are becoming banks. Sources of funding to leverage are drying up. How can hedge funds be protected - will they disappear?
- What will the SEC look for in MD&A disclosure about the credit crisis and demands on liquidity?
- The SEC has proposed to amend Rule 15a-6, the broker-dealer exemption: will this help or hurt the solicitation of US investors?
- Where does the SEC stand on the IFRS-US GAAP roadmap?
- The SEC is stepping up its inspection of non-U.S. investment advisers and broker dealers and issued cautionary guidance on 2 December: what does this mean to you?
- What is driving the increasing numbers of SEC enforcement actions concerning non-U.S. persons?
Attend SEC Regulation Outside the United States and hear directly from key representatives at the SEC how they legislate and enforce US securities laws, and how these affect companies outside the US.
