What’s new from EY

SEC top four: What public companies, boards and investors should watch for in 2023

This publication from the EY Americas Office of Public Policy discusses four key priorities of the SEC that should be of interest to investors, board members and issuers: disclosure rulemaking, the proxy process, regulation of crypto assets, and enforcement matters.

Comment letter on SEC’s proposal on open-end fund liquidity risk management programs and swing pricing

In our comment letter, we recommend that the SEC clarify the auditor’s role in evaluating the application of swing pricing to adjust a fund’s net asset value per share, which all open-end mutual funds (except for money market funds and exchange-traded funds) would be required to do under the proposed rule. Our comments also address the financial statement presentation and disclosures for swing pricing and certain alternatives to swing pricing and a hard close requirement, such as the application of dual pricing and simplified swing pricing.

Standard Setter updates

Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)

FASB proposes changes to income tax disclosures

The FASB proposed requiring all entities to provide additional disclosures about income taxes, primarily related to income taxes paid by jurisdiction and the rate reconciliation. Certain disclosures would not be required for entities other than public business entities. The proposal also would eliminate certain disclosure requirements for unrecognized deferred tax liabilities and uncertain tax positions. Comments are due by 30 May 2023. See our upcoming To the Point.
