Pay-to-Play Compliance: The 2020 Election and Beyond

The months leading up to the 2020 U.S. Presidential election have seen unprecedented political donations on both sides of the aisle.

Pay-to-play compliance is a concern for firms of all sizes. And it won’t go away after the election. Restrictions on gifts and entertainment and potential lobbyist registration requirements also remain areas of concern. Firms need to have policies and procedures in place to identify potential conflicts of interest—and avoid the fines and reputational damage that those conflicts can bring.

Join us for a complimentary webinar featuring Sonia R. Gioseffi from K&L Gates for an overview of what you need to know to understand and manage pay-to-pay compliance and other compliance concerns with respect to public pension plans, including:

  • A summary of SEC Rule 206(4)-5 and other pay-to-play rules
  • SEC enforcement implications
  • Issues related to gifts and entertainment
  • Potential lobbyist registration requirements
  • Strategies for addressing these risk areas
