Date 21/11/2016

Thank you, Bill [Beatty], for that kind introduction and for not only inviting me to participate in this event today, but for accommodating my schedule so I could make it work.  It is nice to be back among my NASAA friends.

As you all may be aware, the Commission has undertaken a comprehensive “Disclosure Effectiveness Initiative” to review and modernize public company reporting requirements in Regulation S-K and Regulation S-X.  The initiative is, at least in part, responsive to congressional mandates found in the JOBS Act and the FAST Act.   The JOBS Act, as you know well, introduced a number of exemptions from disclosure and capital-raising requirements for emerging companies.  The more recent FAST Act requires the Commission to revise Regulation S-K “to further scale or eliminate requirements” in order to reduce the burden on smaller and emerging companies, and to eliminate provisions that are “duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or unnecessary.”
