Event description

Happy mature CEO talking to her team
Happy mature CEO talking to her team

The SEC's proposed filer-status amendments could  reclassify thousands of public companies — raising the large accelerated filer threshold from $700 million to $2 billion, streamlining four-plus filer categories into two, and easing requirements such as the auditor's attestation on internal control over financial reporting. But the rule isn't final, and boards and finance teams are already making planning decisions without knowing how it will land.



Join Grant Thornton for a conversation with a public-company CFO, CAE and Audit Committee Chair about the decisions they're making now. We'll move past the proposed changes to the more important question: what should your organization do today? You'll leave the webcast with a practical checklist of no-regret moves that hold up regardless of how the proposal is finalized.

Learning objectives

  • Identify the core changes in the SEC's proposed filer-status framework — the $700M-to-$2B large accelerated filer threshold, the shift from four-plus categories to two, and the elimination of the auditor's ICFR attestation — and recognize what remains subject to change through rulemaking.
  • Evaluate how the proposed amendments could affect your own organization's filer status, reporting requirements, filing deadlines, and SOX Section 404(b) obligations under multiple regulatory scenarios.
  • Apply a practical decision framework to determine the no-regret actions your finance organization and audit committee can take now, before final rules are issued.
