REGULATORY AND LEGISLATIVE UPDATES

SEC Forming Advisory Committee on Smaller, Emerging Companies

Testifying yesterday at a Congressional hearing on The Future of Capital Formation, sponsored by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Mary L. Schapiro noted that the SEC is forming an Advisory Committee on Small and Emerging Companies.

Schapiro noted that the advisory committee “will provide a formal mechanism for the commission to receive advice and recommendations about regulatory programs that affect privately held small businesses and small publicly traded companies.”

She added the SEC will evaluate recommendations received at its annual Small Business Capital Formation Forum, and has established an email box for suggestions regarding regulation of small and emerging companies. See links to hearing testimony.

In related news, as previously reported, one of three panels being convened at the SEC’s July 7 public roundtable on International Financial Reporting Standards will feature smaller public companies; the other two panels will feature investors and regulators. See SEC press release.

Boehner Demands Huge Spending Cuts in Exchange for Debt Ceiling Increase

The debate over the debt limit is continuing to heat up this week. Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio) has demanded that Congress cut spending by an even greater amount than the proposed debt limit increases. In order to meet that requirement, spending cuts would have to be in the trillions of dollars. The need for agreement grows more urgent every day. Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner has projected that the U.S. will reach its debt limit by Aug. 2 of this year. Boehner argues that it would be irresponsible to raise the debt limit without taking steps to control spending, despite the admittedly serious consequences of default.

Both Democrats and Republicans agree on a general deficit reduction target, but the Republicans are unwilling to raise taxes and hope to get all of the deficit reduction in the form of spending cuts. According to the former director of the Congressional Budget Office, however, no combination of spending cuts and tax increases could possibly fill the $1.6 trillion deficit and the debt ceiling must be raised regardless.

Federal Reserve Preparing to Shift Gears on Monetary Policy

The Federal Reserve may be taking steps in the near future to contract the money supply in an attempt to stave off inflation. The central bank has repeatedly declined to raise discount interest rates for fear of perpetuating unemployment woes (unemployment is currently at 9 percent), but concerns over inflation are quickly taking precedence over unemployment. According to Jeffery Lacker, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, the Fed will make another move to infuse money into the system in July by buying back treasury bills to the tune of $600 billion. If energy and commodity prices continue their upward trend, however, the Fed will begin taking steps to contract the money supply.

Congress Processing Trade Promotion Agreements

Last week, the Obama administration sent three trade agreements to Congress for ratification. In each case, the agreements involve a significant scaling back of tariffs and other barriers to free trade by the U.S. and its trade partners — in this case, South Korea, Colombia and Panama. If ratified, these agreements are expected to stimulate billions of dollars in exports and support tens of thousands of jobs. According to U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk, the agreement with South Korea alone will increase U.S. export revenue $11 billion per year. The agreement with South Korea will also be a particular boost for American auto manufacturers, and other industrial sectors, including agriculture, are expected to benefit significantly from the three trade deals as well.

Ratification of the Columbian trade agreement is currently delayed by concerns over Colombian labor laws, which Democrats in Congress see as being anti-union. Nevertheless, the agreements have a great deal of bipartisan support and lawmakers have indicated that the Senate will hold votes early this summer.

SEC Seeks Comment for Study on Credit Ratings

Earlier this week, the SEC published on its Web site a request for public comment on the feasibility of a system in which a public or private utility or a self-regulatory organization would assign a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) to determine credit ratings for structured finance products. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act mandated that the SEC study assign ratings as part of a broader examination of credit ratings. The public comment period will remain open for 120 days following publication of the request for comment in the Federal Register. Further details are in the SEC’s press release.

Short-Sale Disclosure Regimes Subject of SEC Comment Request

Last week, the SEC announced it is seeking comment on the feasibility, benefits, and costs of two short-selling disclosure regimes as a part of a study mandated by the Dodd-Frank act. Comments will be due within 45 days of publication of the request for comment in the Federal Register. See SEC’s press release.

No Silver Bullet for the Audit Profession, Says PCAOB Chairman

In remarks at Baruch College last week, PCAOB Chairman Jim Doty said there was “no silver bullet” to address the challenges facing auditors, the audit model, and by extension, audit regulation today. See highlights of Doty’s remarks.

The PCAOB chairman’s remarks were made in a keynote address at the Zicklin Center for Corporate Integrity’s 10th Annual Financial Reporting Conference. Other speakers included FASB Chairman Leslie Seidman, SEC Chief Accountant Jim Kroeker and other representatives of regulatory agencies and the private sector, including FEI President and CEO Marie Hollein.

FERF UPDATE

CFO Quarterly Outlook Report: May 2011

Economic and business confidence among chief financial officers in Europe demonstrates slight signs of improvement in Q1, but for the second straight quarter, remains behind their United States counterparts, found the most recent survey of CFOs conducted by Financial Executives International (FEI) and Baruch College’s Zicklin School of Business. Despite a small dip in confidence, U.S. executives’ optimism remains stable as they expect large gains in net earnings in the next 12 months.

With expectations of substantially higher oil prices for the immediate future, CFOs overall see inflation as a mounting concern but have yet to experience a widespread impact from other world events, such as the Japanese earthquake. This quarter, the CFO Outlook Survey, conducted by FEI and Baruch, electronically interviewed 300 corporate CFOs from the U.S., 96 corporate CFOs from Italy and 67 corporate CFOs from France from April 5-17. CFOs from both public and private companies and from a broad range of industries, revenues and geographic areas, including some offshore companies, are represented.

The U.S. survey respondents are members of Financial Executives International; France survey respondents are members of Association Nationale Des Directeurs Financiers Et Du Controle De Gestion (DFCG) and Italy survey respondents are members of Associazione Nazionale Direttori Amministrativi E Finanziari (ANDAF).

Are you Ready for the Proposed Changes to Hedge Accounting?

In May 2010, FASB issued an exposure draft ("ED") Accounting for Financial Instruments and Revisions to the Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which proposed fundamental changes to the accounting for financial instruments, including certain changes to hedge accounting. In December 2010, IASB released an exposure draft, Hedge Accounting, proposing changes to the accounting for hedging activities. FASB also recently issued a discussion paper inviting constituents to comment on IASB’s ED, as part of its redeliberations and efforts to finalize its proposals. That comment deadline was April 25, 2011.

A Comparative Look at Health Care Cost Containment Strategies

Depending on whose estimates you choose to accept, health care costs have risen anywhere from 3 percent or 4 percent to upwards of 10 percent to 12 percent. The expectation is that the percentage increases will continue to range between the high single digits and mid-teens in the short-term (over the next three to five years).

With health care reform now law, but with the threat of repeal and a long, drawn-out fight on the horizon, financial executives find themselves stuck in the middle. In this environment, how can companies contain their costs while the powers that be duke it out in Washington? What financial executives should not do is wait to see who wins. If not already, they should start putting strategies in place to contain and hopefully reduce their overall health care costs.

Financial executives should consider the following key areas:

·        Wellness Programs & Preventive Measures;

·        Alternative Plans and Plan Options;

·        Increasing Employee Co-pays, Deductibles and/or Share of Costs;

·        Other Strategies;

·        Advanced Funding; and

·        Dropping Coverage and Paying the Penalty.

Trends & Tradeoffs in Employee Benefits Survey

Health care and medical benefits continue to be a hotly debated topic in Washington and company boardrooms around the country. As employee medical benefits costs continue to rise, senior financial executives play an increasingly larger role in the final decisions.

The Trends & Tradeoffs in Employee Benefits Survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. It will examine the role senior financial executives play in the employee benefit decision and the impact of financial tradeoffs on an organization due to rising costs of medical benefits. The survey aims to determine the variations of cost-sharing employee benefit programs and the tradeoffs financial executives make when selecting benefits packages, as well as the tradeoffs they may make in other financial-related business decisions.

Your participation and ongoing support are always appreciated. If you have any questions about this survey, please contact FERF Research Associate Tom Thompson at 973.765.1007.

Detecting & Deterring Financial Reporting Fraud

An Executive Breakfast Workshop

Co-Sponsored by Center for Audit Quality (CAQ) and FEI

It is widely recognized that three conditions need to exist within a company and lead to fraud — pressure or incentive, opportunity and rationalization. Management holds the most critical role in establishing a culture and systems that drive the organization and prevent fraud.

This executive workshop will explore strategies for building an ethical philosophy that deters fraud, employing skepticism — an enemy of fraud — in management’s attitude and developing a culture of collaboration and knowledge-sharing to deter and detect fraud.
