    Continuous Disclosure and
    Material Change Reporting

     

    Navigating disclosure requirements in Canada can be an onerous task for any publicly traded company as the regulatory framework and its requirements have become increasingly complex in the past few years.

    Filing or releasing a document that contains a “misrepresentation”, or failure to make timely disclosure, or failure to disclose a material change in the manner and at the time required under the act or the regulations can lead to statutory liability and civil action damages

    This session will provide a practical review on disclosure requirements and guidance on materiality for listed companies in Canada. .
