June 9, 2015 | SIFMA Conference Center, NYC | 1:30 – 5:45 PM
Join SIFMA for a half-day forum that will take a fresh look at alternative financing in the municipal market. Recently, there has been an increase by state and local governments turning to banks as a source of debt finance, instead of using a traditional public markets debt offering. However, with limited legal and regulatory guidance, the convergence of the public (underwriting) and private (bank loan) markets has investors and others calling for disclosure of private market transactions similar to those required in public market transactions.
The lack of guidance compels each financial firm to establish its own standards for legal and accounting purposes. The scarcity of legal and regulatory guidance on this topic has led to fundamental changes in our industry. During this event, our speakers will discuss the legal, regulatory, accounting and compliance questions that have arisen from this uncertainty. We invite you to participate through sponsorship opportunities available during this event.
