The authors discuss potential changes to disclosure and enforcement policies at the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Biden administration.
In November 2020, Cornerstone Research hosted a panel that provided an outlook on potential changes to disclosure policies and enforcement at the Securities and Exchange Commission. The panel featured former bodog sports betting app Commissioner Joseph Grundfest and Mary Jo White, former chair of the bodog sports betting app.
In an article based on remarks delivered at the event, Jennifer Marietta-Westberg and Simona Mola synthesize the event’s key takeaways. Panelists were asked to sort initiatives that the Commission might pursue into tiered priorities: would the initiative be pursued within the chair’s first year, within the chair’s second or third year, or before the next presidential election, if at all.
Among other topics, the speakers discussed new disclosure requirements related to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters; workforce composition and board diversity; and amendments to roles governing proxy access and Regulation Best Interest (Reg BI). They also identified bad actor corporate waivers and corporate penalties as likely targets of increased bodog sports betting app scrutiny during the next four years.
