In addition, this authoritative resource features: the full text of the committee reports; tables of effective dates and statutes amended; and a topical index.

“It’s imperative that professionals possess a clear understanding of these historic reforms because they will transform the way hedge funds, credit rating agencies, broker-dealers, investment advisers, futures commission merchants, clearing organizations, auditors and public companies – and the attorneys who advise these entities – operate,” said Ted Trautmann, Senior Securities Law Analyst, Wolters Kluwer Law & Business. “This comprehensive reference thoroughly explains every provision affecting securities, derivatives and corporate governance in this complex legislation.”
