The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced the agenda for Wednesday’s roundtable on providing more transparency to investors that will include discussion of lessons from the current credit crisis. Among other issues, panelists will address better ways to explain complex financial instruments to investors and the marketplace, and will propose ways to provide investors with more transparent, useful, and timely access to high-quality information. The roundtable is part of the SEC’s 21st Century Disclosure Initiative (www.sec.gov/disclosureinitiative) that is fundamentally rethinking disclosure.
Panel One: The Market’s Use of Disclosure Information and the SEC’s Disclosure System
This panel will explore whether the current system of collecting and filing data for SEC disclosure obligations has kept pace with the market. It will examine how investors can get all the information they need to make increasingly complex investment decisions. It will also consider the data, technology, and processes that companies and other filers use in satisfying their SEC disclosure obligations.
