Yafit Cohn Quoted in Bloomberg BNA on MD&A Disclosures

01.27.15
Corporate Associate Yafit Cohn was quoted in an article, "Continuing a Trend, MD&A Disclosures Will Be a Major Focus of SEC Staff in 2015,” published in Bloomberg BNA.  The article discusses the SEC’s recent emphasis on the management discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) section of financial statements in the wake of a settlement with Bank of America regarding the company’s failure to make required disclosures in its MD&A.  Yafit commented, “I think the settlement is a good reminder that companies must have a robust process to ensure that known material trends and uncertainties are appropriately disclosed in their periodic filings.”
