On Jul 21, 2010, Pres Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The legislative scope of this 848-page law is the most ambitious since the Great Depression. It may take years to implement the new regulations of the credit rating agencies, banks, hedge funds, buyout shops, and the $450 trillion derivatives market. Another major element of the legislation is the creation of an independent Consumer Financial Protection Bureau housed in the Federal Reserve Board to monitor mortgage and credit card products. Although the broad scope of the Dodd-Frank Act ensures that it will have an effect on many areas that accounting professionals are engaged in, the emphasis in this article is on selected, SEC-related reforms that may be of particular interest to...

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``CFTC'' or ``Commission'') is requesting comment on a proposed rule that would implement Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (``Dodd-Frank Act'') which contains certain prohibitions and restrictions on the ability of a banking entity and nonbank financial company supervised by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the ``Board'') to engage in proprietary trading and have certain interests in, or relationships with, a hedge fund or private equity fund (``CFTC Rule'').
