2009 GIPS Standards Annual Conference
Strong Standards for a Changing Industry
22−23 September 2009
Hyatt Regency Boston
Boston, Massachusetts, USA
In the midst of the most severe market forces in decades, heightened regulatory scrutiny, and growing client demand for transparency amid cases of high-profile fraud, compliance with the GIPS standards has never been more relevant.
And with the process for adopting revisions to the Standards moving steadily forward, this year’s annual conference is the perfect time to gather with the industry’s leaders to assess today’s challenges, grasp how the final proposals will affect your firm, and see how you can use the Standards to stand out in this time of market uncertainty.
Don’t miss this opportunity to hear presentations by SEC staff and
leading industry practitioners and researchers. Participants will:
- Examine a detailed review of the proposed changes to the GIPS standards
- Hear special updates from the SEC on current issues and new areas of regulatory focus
- Look at proposed valuation requirements and what they will mean for firms
- Examine new insights on managing performance departments and client reporting best practices
- Learn about verification and how to spot and prevent fraudulent reporting
-
Discover ideas for comforting clients and assuaging concerns about
accuracy and transparency
