On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law the "Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act." This legislation marks the most sweeping reforms in the financial industry and Wall Street in over 70 years.

The program provided a discussion of:

• The major provisions of the financial reform legislation;
• Issues of special interest to CPAs;
• Key changes affecting investment advisers, private fund managers, and private funds;
• Broker-dealer issues under the Volcker Rule, Section 913, and other relevant provisions; and
• Changes in the regulation of the derivatives markets.
