Auditor Changes And Opinion Shopping- A Proposed Solution, Dale R. Rietberg
Auditor Changes And Opinion Shopping- A Proposed Solution, Dale R. Rietberg
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This Note argues that the existing regulatory mechanism has failed to address adequately the problem of opinion shopping, and that better means of ensuring the reliability of financial statements are needed. Part I describes the nature and extent of the opinion-shopping problem, including a discussion of its larger, macroeconomic impact. Part II argues that the underlying causes of the problem are systemic and that present safeguards against opinion shopping are inadequate. Finally, Part III examines some alternative solutions and proposes a system of Accounting Issue Inquiry Centers under the direction and auspices of the SEC. These Centers would be designed …

The Internationalization Of The Securities Markets: Preface To A Symposium, Joel Seligman
Michigan Journal of International Law
This preface begins by tracing certain of the initial steps taken by the SEC in the internationalization of securities trading. Regulations involving issuers of new securities are discussed in two contexts. First, when foreign private issuers offer securities into the United States, and second, when securities are simultaneously offered in the United States and abroad. The preface concludes by introducing each of the articles in this symposium.
Chinese Wall Or Emperor's New Clothes? Regulating Conflicts Of Interest Of Securities Firms In The U.S. And The U.K., Norman S. Poser
Chinese Wall Or Emperor's New Clothes? Regulating Conflicts Of Interest Of Securities Firms In The U.S. And The U.K., Norman S. Poser
Michigan Journal of International Law
This article has two principal theses. The first is that, while Chinese Walls of securities firms are undoubtedly useful in some instances in preventing the flow of confidential information, the evidence that they actually do this is insufficient to justify basing a legal defense on the existence of a wall in a particular firm. In fact, it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that at some firms the Chinese Wall is nothing but a convenient fiction aimed at avoiding liability for market abuses. The article's second thesis is that the isolation of information within a department of a firm which …

Securities Regulation In The International Marketplace: Bilateral And Multilateral Agreements, Daniel L. Goelzer, Anne Sullivan, Robert Mills
Securities Regulation In The International Marketplace: Bilateral And Multilateral Agreements, Daniel L. Goelzer, Anne Sullivan, Robert Mills
Michigan Journal of International Law
This article examines the experience of the SEC in securities regulation with respect to the international securities markets, focusing first as background upon recent developments in those markets, and then on the actual regulation of issuer disclosure, the trading markets, and enforcement in general. In each of the latter three areas, the article will consider the Commission's direct domestic actions in response to international trade, and compare those with international approaches to establish standards in these areas. This comparison demonstrates that international cooperation can, and should, develop new protections and predictable, common themes of regulation, for disclosure, market regulation, and …

Part II analyzes the bases and parameters of the principle of capital neutrality, the experiences of international taxation in applying the principle to a globalizing economy, and the possibilities for applying the principle to international securities regulation. Part III focuses on the international banking law principle of coordinated …
