NERA Vice President Dr. Sharon Brown-Hruska participated in a webcast on 10 March 2011 that examined the potential impact and costs associated with the new Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The panel discussed how, and to what extent, new regulation will affect derivatives trading; the potential costs associated with regulatory reform and the cost of non-compliance; strategies for tackling issues now and for the future; and how to implement systems and processes that maximize operational efficiency and ensure compliance with Dodd-Frank mandates.
