  • SEC: Remarks Before The UCI Audit Committee Summit, James Schnurr, Chief Accountant, Newport Beach, CA , Oct. 23, 2015

    Date 26/10/2015

    Introduction

    Thank you for the kind introduction and invitation to speak with you today.  Before I begin, let me remind you that the views expressed today are my own and not necessarily those of the Commission, the individual Commissioners, or other colleagues on the Commission Staff.

    Let me start by thanking you for the important and difficult role you play in protecting investors.  In my former life as an audit partner, I had the opportunity to interact with audit committees at not only some of my firm’s largest audit clients, but also some small and mid-size audit clients.  Through those interactions, I have seen significant improvement in the quality and performance of audit committees in their integral role with respect to investor protection.  Among other things, they provide oversight over, and serve as a check and balance on, a company’s financial reporting system.  

  • Keynote Remarks Of CFTC Chairman Timothy Massad Before The Swap Execution Facility Conference, SEFCON VI, October 26, 2015

    Date 26/10/2015

    Thank you, Shawn for that warm welcome. It’s great to be back at SEFCON. When I was here last year, I spoke about some of the principles guiding my approach to the regulation of swaps trading and swap execution facilities (SEFs). And I spoke about what I believe we should be trying to achieve in the long run.

    My overall goal remains the same as it was then. And that is to create a regulatory framework that not only implements the trading mandate in the law and achieves the basic goals of transparency, fairness and integrity in trading – but also one that creates conditions in which participants want to trade on SEFs. A framework that provides a foundation on which the market can thrive and grow.
