Registration is now open for the exciting debut of the Global ESG Regulatory Academy™, presenting its 2012 WEBINAR SERIES ON SEC ESG COMPLIANCE for Public Companies, Boards, Auditors, and Institutional Investors.

PLEASE NOTE NEW CONTENT AND NEW DATES DUE TO HURRICANE SANDY.

THE 2012 WEBINAR SERIES, DESIGNED FOR ALL CAPITAL MARKET PARTICIPANTS AND STAKEHOLDERS, IS PACKED WITH PRACTICAL, VALUABLE, MUST-HAVE INTELLIGENCE AND ACTIONABLE GUIDANCE NOT AVAILABLE ANYWHERE ELSE, TO GET YOU QUICKLY UP TO SPEED ON THE ESSENTIALS.

WEBINARS ARE LIMITED TO 100 PARTICIPANTS; EARLY REGISTRATION IS RECOMMENDED.  All Registrants, whether or not you can attend the live Webinars, will receive the presentation handout materials and access to the archived Webinar recordings.  Webinar participants will be able to ask the Speakers questions during the live Q&A session.

The 2012 Webinar Series will explain how the widespread global SEC ESG noncompliance problem is impacting public companies, boards, auditors, institutional investors, and a broad range of capital market transactions, and how these market sectors should manage the associated noncompliance liabilities and risks.  An estimated 80% of large public company SEC filers are noncompliant on ESG issues, according to the landmark CSR Insight™ Study.

• DEC. 3RD WEBINAR:  will explain the dimensions and impacts of the widespread global SEC ESG noncompliance problem; the basic foundation SEC filers must establish to comply with SEC ESG requirements; current corporate deficiencies and reasons for noncompliance; liabilities triggered by noncompliance for the C-Suite, the Board, and the External Auditor; compliance issues and strategies (Part 1); and lessons learned from recent financial institution scandals.

• DEC. 7TH WEBINAR:  will explain the main SEC disclosure and financial statement requirements for ESG issues for SEC filers under Regulation S-K, including crucial accounting issues; the associated noncompliance liabilities for the C-Suite, the Board, and the External Auditor; compliance issues and strategies (Part 2); private equity ESG current developments and impacts; and current SEC enforcement initiatives and considerations (Part 1).

• DEC. 14TH WEBINAR:  will explain SEC ESG requirements for Registered Investment Advisers and associated noncompliance liabilities; current Integrated Reporting developments and market practices; ESG financial analysis considerations for CFAs; and current SEC enforcement initiatives and considerations (Part 2).

"All capital market participants and stakeholders now need to be knowledgeable about ESG financial regulatory reporting requirements, and why this widespread global SEC ESG noncompliance exists and how it can be fixed, because this systemic regulatory noncompliance on ESG issues is producing increasingly significant financial, economic, investment, and tail risks for all concerned,” states Linda Lowson, Esq., CEO of CSR Insight™ and Founder of the Global ESG Regulatory Academy™.
