The Asset Managers Forum Corporate Actions Committee sends letter to SEC

SIFMA's The Asset Managers Forum Corporate Actions Committee sent a letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission in support of the "Issue to Investor: Corporate Actions" initiative, led by The Depository Trust & Clearing Corp., the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication and eXtensible Business Reporting Language. The committee stated that it supports this initiative because it addresses a common issue that all market participants face, the effective processing of corporate reporting, such as issuer-announced corporate actions. The letter, addressed to Meredith Cross, director of the SEC Division of Corporate Finance, discusses many issues that would be helped by standardizing issuer-announced corporate actions by requiring issuers to use the XBRL.
