Last week, Ankura sponsored the annual Securities Docket
Enforcement Forum DC 2024 conference at the Mayflower Hotel. The
conference featured a keynote address by Sanjay Wadhwa, the
Securities Exchange Commission's (SEC) Acting Director of
Enforcement. The forum included discussions by nearly a dozen
senior SEC enforcement officials and over 40 experts, covering
topics such as cryptocurrency, whistleblowers, financial and
accounting fraud, AI's impact, litigation and investigation
strategies, SEC-related criminal matters, financial firms, insider
trading, climate, and cybersecurity.
Ankura's Jason Flemmons participated as a panelist in the
session "Minding Your Ks and Qs: The Latest Issues and
Developments in Financial Reporting Fraud" where he addressed
recent trends and activity by the SEC's Division of Enforcement
related to accounting, disclosure, and auditing matters involving
publicly-traded companies and PCAOB-registered audit
firms.
