Yesterday, I hosted an interesting webcast with a panel of four former SEC senior officials and accountants that analyzed the key developments in the SEC enforcement world in 2013, and also offered many insights into what to expect from the SEC in 2014. The panel featured WilmerHale partners Bill McLucas and Doug Davison, as well as Marty Wilczynski and Jason Flemmons of FTI Consulting.

The webcast covered issues including:

The SEC's shift towards requiring admissions, rather than no-admit-no-deny settlements;

The increased use of analytic technology to identify fraud;

The renewed focus on enforcement against “gatekeepers;” 

Results of litigating with the SEC (including a discussion of the SEC's loss at trial this week in the Schvacho insider trading case); and much more.

You can watch the archive of the webcast below.
