Statement On The Review Of Climate-Related Disclosure, Acting SEC Chair Allison Herren Lee, Feb. 24, 2021

Date 24/02/2021

Today, I am directing the Division of Corporation Finance to enhance its focus on climate-related disclosure in public company filings. The Commission in 2010 provided guidance to public companies regarding existing disclosure requirements as they apply to climate change matters. As part of its enhanced focus in this area, the staff will review the extent to which public companies address the topics identified in the 2010 guidance, assess compliance with disclosure obligations under the federal securities laws, engage with public companies on these issues, and absorb critical lessons on how the market is currently managing climate-related risks. The staff will use insights from this work to begin updating the 2010 guidance to take into account developments in the last decade.

SIFMA Statement On Shortening The Settlement Cycle

Date 24/02/2021

SIFMA today issued the following statement from president and CEO Kenneth E. Bentsen, Jr., on the DTCC’s whitepaper on shortening the settlement cycle for U.S. equities to one business day after the trade is executed (T+1):

“The DTCC paper released today addresses important issues to enhance our securities settlement processes, which are critical to the continued resiliency of our markets and market operations.  SIFMA, along with DTCC and ICI, led the effort to shorten the settlement cycle from 3 to 2 days in 2017, which required addressing multiple functions and rules.  Similarly, moving forward on both the integrated settlement model and moving to a T+1 settlement cycle will be a substantial undertaking requiring broad industry actions.  As discussions continue around the business and operational impacts on any future changes to shortening settlement times to T+1, we believe it is essential to ensure plans allow for a sufficient amount of time to successfully accomplish further changes, particularly in light of other industry operational obligations such as the Consolidated Audit Trail.”
