At the FTF (October 3) Conference on Corporate Actions Processing, he presented about the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act of 2009 (“FATCA”). He discussed the implications and challenges that firms are facing as they grapple with changes in the processing of Corporate Actions in order to comply with this developing regulatory framework (ie, yet to be finalized) under this law.
