On December 20, 2011, the US Chamber of Commerce published a report entitled “U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission: A Roadmap for Transformational Reform.” The 135-page report, authored by former SEC Secretary Jonathan Katz, was commissioned and released in response to what the Chamber referred to as a need for a “comprehensive transformation of the SEC,” and addresses the SEC’s leadership, management, organization, and enforcement and rulemaking processes, among other matters. This is not the first time the Chamber has proposed reforms of the Commission. In 2009, the Chamber released its first such report, entitled “Examining the Efficiency and Effectiveness of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.” The Chamber now describes that report as calling only for “incremental change”, and notes in its 2011 report that “incremental change will no longer do.” The Chamber’s 2011 report can be accessed at http://www.uschamber.com/sites/default/files/reports/16967_SECReport_FullReport_final.pdf.
