Speech By SEC Commissioner Troy A. Paredes: Remarks At The SEC Speaks In 2011

Date 04/02/2011

The snow kept me from attending last year’s SEC Speaks, so I am especially pleased to join you this afternoon at “The SEC Speaks in 2011.” As you know, the Commission has been exceptionally busy, with every division and office dedicating itself to a range of challenging matters. Front and center, of course, has been the agency’s commitment to fulfilling our extensive rulemaking responsibilities under the Dodd-Frank Act. How the Commission exercises our discretion in fashioning the regulatory regime will shape the legislation’s practical contours and Dodd-Frank’s ultimate impact. Accordingly, I want to thank the Commission staff for their hard work and dedication during this highly demanding and important time in the SEC’s history. I greatly appreciate your tremendous effort and professionalism.
