SEC Enforcement Focus 2014

Thursday 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM (ET)

Course Description: 

The SEC’s Enforcement program has changed dramatically in recent years and it appears that 2014 will be no exception to this trend.  This course will provide an overview of enforcement priorities and initiatives that the SEC staff has identified for 2014.  Our expert instructors will examine many of these emerging enforcement trends including:

  • More activity by specialized units
  • Attacking insider trading
  • Investigating misconduct at hedge funds, private equity funds, and mutual funds
  • Increased leverage of examination program
  • The “Broken Windows” approach
  • Continuing focus on small advisers
  • Increased use of the administrative process
  • Increased use of  data analytics through technology
  • Increased use of whistleblowers  and cooperation programs
  • The slow and steady erosion of the SEC’s willingness to accept settlements where the defendant does not admit or deny the violations

The instructors will also discuss the SEC’s recently released enforcement results for FY 2013 and New Forward-Looking Initiatives discussed in the SEC’s report.
