Dodd-Frank: The SEC Fleshes Out Its October Rulemaking Schedule
– Broc Romanek, CompensationStandards.com
On Friday, the SEC listed the specific rulemakings that are planned for October in this schedule. As noted earlier, the schedule includes proposals for say-on-pay and say-on-golden parachutes, as well as disclosure of voting by institutional money managers on executive pay. Proposals regarding compensation committee/advisor independence; mine safety and disclosure relating to resource extraction issuers are not coming until November.
Among other planned rulemakings, October also includes a request for comment on a study regarding reducing the costs of smaller companies complying with Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley (ie. internal controls). The SEC will also establish five new Offices this month: Whistleblowers, Credit Ratings, Investor Advocate, Women and Minority Inclusion and Municipal Securities. Here is testimony before the Senate Banking Committee from SEC Chair Schapiro regarding how the rulemaking is proceeding.
