(eCornell) Securities Registration and Reporting

About This Course

To gain this skill set, this course will guide you through the SEC reporting requirements as you examine the types of information that must be publicly provided to regulators and investors. You will examine key definitions, including what constitutes an offer and a sale. You will also explore registration statements, inspecting their contents and comparing them to prospectuses. As you progress through the course, you will develop skills to help you understand the registration process and how to avoid common pitfalls. In addition, you will consider the reach of the U.S. registration requirements outside the country. Finally, you will explore the key components of a company's public disclosures and investigate how those disclosures are made as well as the ways in which disclosure requirements can be used to shape public company behavior. The course is provided by eCornell in partnership with Genashtim.
