The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that it will hold a roundtable on October 8 to discuss ways to modernize its disclosure system to give investors more useful and timely information for investment decision-making.
The roundtable is part of the SEC’s 21st Century Disclosure Initiative launched by SEC Chairman Christopher Cox in June. The roundtable’s discussions will help guide the Commission as it examines how the agency acquires disclosure information from public companies, mutual funds, and other market entities as well as how that information is being made available to investors and the markets.
