One year after the SEC issued its letter restating the importance of the prominence of GAAP over Non-GAAP “adjusted” results, let’s gain more real world insight into where we stand on this important issue.  This session will cover takeaways from a recent Ipreo/Edelman survey, discussion by IROs about adjustments their companies have made and the legal perspective from SEC attorneys who have fought the issue both from the SEC perspective as well as helped companies respond to SEC comments. 

Learning Objectives: 
  • Gain insight into what impact these changes have had on companies' performance 
  • Learn about specific feedback companies have received from using these reporting measures
  • Find out about to successfully incorporate this SEC guidance into your disclosure program
