Non-GAAP Measures: 60% of Proxy Statements Include Them

Broc Romanek, CompensationStandards.com

As noted in this Audit Analytics blog, nearly 60% of proxy statements include non-GAAP financial measures this year – up from a 20% rate in ’09. Thus, the new Corp Fin CDIs aren’t merely directed at earnings releases, 10-Qs and 10-Ks. Learn more in our oodles of memos about the new CDIs posted in the “Non-GAAP Disclosures” Practice Area on TheCorporateCounsel.net.

Tomorrow’s Webcast on TheCorporateCounsel.net! “The SEC Speaks on Non-GAAP”

Since we’ve still been getting so many questions about what the SEC Staff expects in the wake of Corp Fin’s recent issuance of new non-GAAP CDIs, we’ve calendared a new webcast – “Non-GAAP Disclosures: The SEC Speaks!” – that will be held tomorrow, Wednesday, July 6th with Mark Kronforst, the Chief Accountant of the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance! Dave Lynn & Meredith Cross will join Mark as they parse the questions that Corp Fin has been receiving since the CDIs – as well as the type of comments that the Staff has been issuing (those comment letters aren’t public yet since the files aren’t “closed”).

If you can’t make the webcast live, the audio archive will be posted immediately after the program ends – and a transcript will be posted about 10 days after that. If you’re not a member of TheCorporateCounsel.net, try a “Half Price for Rest of ’16” no-risk trial now…
