The webcast, scheduled for Thursday, March 28 at 11 a.m. (ET), will also provide updates on key financial reporting developments and insights on governance trends and practices from KPMG's ACI. Panelists will address several important legislative and regulatory developments that boards and business leaders should have on their radar, from the implications of the U.S. fiscal crises and prospects for tax reform, to the impact of healthcare reform and the ongoing Dodd-Frank rulemaking activities of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and other priorities.
