About This Webinar

The SEC’s regulatory agenda has become increasingly active in recent months, with proposals that could affect how public companies prepare disclosures, raise capital and meet ongoing reporting obligations.

While not every proposal will become final, understanding where the Commission is headed can help your organization prepare for what may come next.

The SEC’s Transformative Rulemakings & What’s On the Horizon will examine the proposals, guidance and enforcement priorities shaping today’s regulatory agenda.

During this webinar with experts from Mayer Brown and PwC, you’ll learn about:

• Proposed changes that could replace quarterly reporting with semiannual reporting for certain issuers
• New capital formation proposals affecting shelf registrations, Form S-1 and issuer communications
• Potential changes to filer status categories and scaled disclosure accommodations
• Recent SEC and CFTC guidance involving digital assets
• How the SEC’s enforcement priorities could affect registrants

Whether you’re preparing filings today or planning for tomorrow’s reporting environment, this session will help you better understand where SEC policy is headed and the developments worth watching.
