CLICK HERE FOR THE MARCH 24, 2004 WHITE PAPER
"SEC ADDS NEW REPORTING EVENTS TO FORM 8-K AND ACCELERATES FILING DEADLINE
FOR REQUIRED REPORTS TO FOUR BUSINESS DAYS"

You are cordially invited to attend a McDermott Will & Emery webcast/teleconference briefing on the latest thinking regarding the new Form 8-K reportable events and the implementation of enhanced disclosure controls and procedures necessary to ensure compliance with the new rules. Members of McDermott’s Securities Practice Group will discuss the latest guidance from the Securities and Exchange Commission and evolving best practices and respond to your questions. The briefing is scheduled to last one hour.A recent SEC enforcement case emphasizes that public companies are required to have disclosure controls and procedures sufficient to ensure that required information in SEC reports is "recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time frames specified in the Commission’s rules and forms." This means that companies that are not ready by August 23, 2004, the effective date for the new Form 8-K, risk not only a failure to comply with required disclosure under Form 8-K, but also being in violation of the rule requiring SEC-reporting companies to maintain disclosure controls and procedures. This briefing is designed to provide timely assistance to public companies in preparing for the new current reporting regime.
