Our Advisory Board member, Doug Chia, recently posted “When Disclosure Is The Better Part of Valor: Lessons From The AT&T Regulation FD Enforcement Action.” https://bit.ly/2RLsD8O
In this piece, Doug discusses the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charges against:
- AT&T, Inc. for repeatedly violating Regulation Fair Disclosure (Reg FD)
- Three members of AT&T’s investor relations (IR) team for “aiding and abetting” the alleged Reg FD violations.
This rare SEC action reinforces the importance of audit committaee oversight of company IR processes. Foresight’s recommended agenda topics include several aimed at ensuring effective audit committee oversight of company IR processes, including Reg FD compliance.
