governance disclosure

By Adam Gorley | 4 Minutes Read February 7, 2011

The dream of a national securities regulator lives on

No doubt you’ve heard about the debate over a national securities regulator. Maybe you’ve even paid attention a bit. (I believe there was a scuffle recently over a logo or something—and the location of the head office of the proposed regulator?) Anyway, the Federal Government has prepared a Securities Act and handed it over to the Supreme Court to decide whether the feds even have the legal authority to establish a harmonized national regime to govern capital markets.

Another look at governance disclosure

Despite the rosy picture the CSA paints, I'm not surprised that many organizations are falling short of their governance disclosure obligations. With respect to National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices, the CSA found "unacceptable" shortcomings in 55 percent of reviewed organizations’ disclosures, compared to 36 percent in 2007. In this instance, reporting is getting much worse, not better.
