Japan Financial Services Agency Blockchain International Joint Research Project - Research Report On "The Evolution Of Tokenization In The Financial Sector And The Feasibility Of The Use Of Blockchain Technology For RegTech/SupTech”
Date 19/12/2024
Technological innovations such as blockchain have the potential to not only digitize financial services but also to implement financial systems with a certain degree of programmability through the tokenization of payment methods and financial products (e.g., stable coins, tokenized deposits, security tokens). It is imperative to identify and analyze key issues for the development of a robust financial system, while considering both the opportunities and risks associated with these advancements, including crypto-assets, which represent the initial application of blockchain technology.

Statement On 2025 PCAOB Budget, SEC Commissioner Mark T. Uyeda
Date 18/12/2024
Thank you, Chair Gensler and Chair Williams, for your presentations.
At today’s meeting on the PCAOB’s 2025 budget, you may hear references to how its budget is increasing “only” 3.9% from last year, compared to double-digit increases during the past two years. However, for this year-over-year comparison to be meaningful, the starting premise must be that the 2024 budget was reasonable and supportable. As I stated last December, it was not.

Integrity And Transparency In Financial Reporting: The PCAOB’s FY 2025 Budget, SEC Commissioner Jaime Lizárraga
Date 18/12/2024
In 2002, Congress enacted the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in response to the accounting scandals of that time. The law targeted the glaring deficiencies of a self-policing system of financial reporting rife with conflicts of interest. The large-scale accounting frauds this system produced inflicted substantial harm to investors and to our capital markets.

Part I.A. Like It’s 1999: Statement At The Open Meeting To Consider The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s 2025 Final Budget And Accounting Support Fee, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce
Date 18/12/2024
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Welcome, Chair Williams. The PCAOB has a vital, though deliberately limited, core mission: to “protect the interests of investors and further the public interest in the preparation of informative, accurate, and independent audit reports.”[1] The Commission has oversight authority over the Board, which includes reviewing the budget and annual accounting support fee. Commission oversight is important. Issuers and broker-dealers bear the direct costs of funding the Board, some of which get passed on to investors. If the PCAOB fails to use its budgeted resources wisely, investors, the economy, and the audit profession pay indirectly in the form of impaired functioning of the capital markets.
