The securities law landscape continues to evolve as new regulatory developments emerge. Recently, under the direction of its new Chair, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) has been messaging the priorities of its enforcement program, including renewed focus across the agency related to climate change disclosures, cybersecurity, and financial innovation. The SEC staff has also messaged through its examination priorities that it will focus on recently established rules and standards of conduct for registered investment advisers (RIAs) and broker-dealers. Although the new administration is still working through several pandemic-related economic disruptions, a more aggressive enforcement posture is widely expected. In light of these changes, registrants must continue to be proactive in addressing compliance with SEC regulations while keeping abreast of emerging legal and policy developments that may result in increased scrutiny from SEC staff, including the Division of Enforcement. In this Webcast, financial regulatory experts Dr. Jennifer Marietta-Westberg (Cornerstone Research) and Ryan Wolfe (Credibility International LLC) will provide the audience with an in-depth discussion of the SEC’s heightened enforcement priorities. Speakers will also present recent regulatory developments and share practical ways to improve compliance amid the changing legal landscape.
