Statement on Proposed Resource Extraction Rule By SEC Commissioner Allison Herren Lee
Date 18/12/2019
This disclosure requirement is about fighting global corruption through transparency. The United States has long been a leader in international anti-corruption efforts. Congress enacted the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in 1977, making it illegal for U.S. public companies to pay bribes to foreign government officials.[1] We were for many years the only major nation to have such a law.[2] The U.S. was a founding member of the Financial Action Task Force in 1989, an inter-governmental standards-setting body aimed at combatting money laundering.[3] We helped negotiate the United Nations Convention against Corruption in 2004.[4] We have taken this leadership role in combatting corruption worldwide not only because corrupt governments don’t provide adequately for their citizens, but because it is in our own foreign policy interests to promote stability and economic growth abroad.[5] In this tradition, Congress enacted Section 1504 of the Dodd-Frank Act to “help combat global corruption and empower citizens of resource-rich countries to hold their governments accountable for the wealth generated by those resources.”[6]

Statement At Open Meeting On Commission Actions Relating To Implementation Of Title VII Of The Dodd-Frank Act By SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce
Date 18/12/2019
I am happy to see the culmination of many years of work by our staff in the recommendations before us today. When the Chairman asked me nearly two years ago to help lead the Commission’s effort to stand up these rules, I agreed to do so because I thought it was important that the Commission finish the implementation of one of the key statutory mandates that came out of the 2007-2009 financial crisis. Since early last year, the Commission’s staff has risen to the challenge, preparing for our consideration, under very tight time constraints, an impressive number of proposed and final rules, as well as solicitations of comment, and Commission statements and orders.
