SEC Proposes to Eliminate Outdated and Duplicative Disclosure Requirements

On July 13, 2016, the SEC issued a proposed rule1 that would amend certain of its disclosure requirements that may be redundant, duplicative, or outdated, or may overlap with other SEC, U.S. GAAP, or IFRS disclosure requirements. The proposal also seeks comment on whether certain of the SEC’s disclosure requirements that overlap with U.S. GAAP requirements should be retained, modified, eliminated, or referred to the FASB for potential incorporation into U.S. GAAP. See the table below for a summary of some of the proposed changes.
