Statement On The Disclosure Update And Simplification Proposing Release, SEC Commissioner Kara M. Stein, July 13, 2016
Date 13/07/2016
Good morning. I would like to thank each of you for your work on this release.
Today, we are considering a proposal to “simplify” certain of the Commission’s disclosure requirements. Today’s release purports to identify provisions that may be redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded — based on other Commission disclosure requirements, U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”), or changes in the information environment. The release also requests comment on whether certain disclosure items currently required by Commission rules, but which are not included in U.S. GAAP, should be retained, modified, or referred to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) for possible incorporation into U.S. GAAP.
