Event Summary
The Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) recent investigation on the alleged accounting fraud committed by Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. and its several employees signals the Commission’s heightened enforcement scrutiny on individual accountability. Top executives are now faced with a notice for potential SOX 304 Reimbursement. This underscores the need to develop a robust internal control and compliance culture for financial reporting.
As the SEC’s enforcement activities continue to ramp up and the regulatory landscape remains uncertain, businesses must stay updated and be well-versed on any grounds that would result in potential liability risks.
Join experienced regulatory and compliance practitioners, John A. Rademacher (Charles River Associates), Rebecca Fike (Vison & Elkins), and Christopher W. Ahart (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission), as they provide a comprehensive discussion on the recent SEC enforcement actions and considerations for fostering an ethical culture and reducing compliance risks. Speakers, among other things, will also offer best practices and effective compliance strategies amidst the ever-changing legal landscape.
Key issues that will be covered in this course are:
• SEC Enforcement Actions on Accounting Fraud Cases: Individual Accountability and SOX 304 Reimbursement
• Analyzing Recent SEC Accounting Fraud Investigations
• Potential Implications and Risk Issues
• Best Practices and Compliance Strategies
• What Lies Ahead
