A practical guide designed for CPAs who service public companies, whether internally or externally. It identifies disclosure requirements for financial statements, Management's Discussion and Analysis, and the SEC rules mandated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This product is both for preparers and reviewers of financial statements that will be included in SEC 1933 or 1934 Act filings. It can be used to prepare and review the financial statement disclosures of non-small business, domestic registrants.

The checklists are organized by question, disclosure requirement and reference source. First, the reader is prompted with a question, such as "Does the company have restrictions on its cash?" If the answer is yes, the reader proceeds to the disclosure requirement. The reader can also obtain more in-depth information by reading the excerpts from SEC reference material that is provided in the book and supports the requirement.

Once the reader is satisfied that the company has met the disclosure requirements, the response to the question and the workpaper reference can be entered into the book or on the checklist, which is available on the free, companion CD included with the volume.

The free, back-of-the-book CD contains three checklists covering the same disclosure questions and requirements in the book.

The Regulation of Corporate Disclosure, Third Edition is a complete and up-to-date handbook on the issue of corporate disclosure, covering the impact of the federal securities laws on both informal communications and the process of communicating with shareholders.

The third edition expands topics previously covered, addressing the legal issues and practical concerns surrounding implementation of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. The book also has an in-depth treatment of management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A), something that, although appearing in required SEC filings, involves many of the same difficult and complex issues raised by the informal disclosure process. Also addressed are: SEC reforms of the periodic reporting process; issues pertaining to stock research analysts and conflicts of interest; and various relevant corporate governance requirements and their disclosure implications.

Critical areas analyzed include:

• Disclosure requirements and anti-fraud provisions
• The duty to disclose
• Dissemination
• Issues involving materiality
• Disclosure of bad news
• Negotiations
• Dealing with analysts
• And much more!

This week we celebrate the internet’s very own Oliver Lindberg as we get #lostwithlindberg. Given our distinct lack of direction for this episode, it seemed only right and proper that our favourite editor of the internet takes this week’s naming rights. If you are ever lost, and if you can find him, maybe you can also get “lost with Lindberg”. Cue the music.

We might not be a crack commando unit but we did our best to highlight a few choice topics from the internet underground. In this week’s show, we speak out in favour of the new Instagram logo, welcome the Lord of the .io domain to the UK’s most hipster city, discuss a big man with a new big book, see the sunset on sunrise, and finally get all excited about our new startup!

Even as technology made communication quicker, these Coptic leaders ministered through snail mail.

In his rural New Jersey home, Wafik Habib carefully laid out his letter collection before us, now more than a half century old. Handwritten by the late Bishop Samuel to the physician, they represented the bishop’s pastoral care to a nascent diaspora Christian community started in 1950s North America. We could sense the bishop’s presence in the words of comfort and exhortation set to pen and paper.

A few years before our visit to Habib to read his letters from Bishop Samuel, we opened up our own airmail from Egypt. It was a greeting card from Abadir El-Souriany, an elderly monk at the Syrian Monastery of St. Mary. (In the Coptic tradition, bishops are denoted by a single name at ordination and monks are referred to by their first name and the monastery where they serve.)

The card smelled of the Egyptian desert. In it, we found words of blessing.

Abadir had pastored our family in Sudan decades before. Now, newly ordained and assigned to a Coptic Orthodox Church in New Jersey, we received the warm words of Abadir’s letter. They ministered to us as only words from a lifelong pastor to diaspora congregations could.

Of course, sending letters from a distance to churches the Coptic church leaders planted or communities they served follows an apostolic tradition that dates back to the New Testament. Though these letters were addressed to individuals, rather than entire congregations, they achieved the same end: the spread of Christianity, the planting of new churches in new places, and the spiritual growth of these new congregations.

Following in the footsteps of his predecessor, Bishop Samuel, Abadir maintained the relationships he built through letter-writing. The Syrian Monastery—located in a region called ...
