Commission Announcements

SEC Staff to Hold Roundtable on “Measurement Uncertainty in Financial Reporting”

The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that the inaugural roundtable in the Financial Reporting Series will be held on November 8.

 The purpose of the Financial Reporting Series is to proactively help identify risks and potential improvements in the financial information provided to investors.  The inaugural roundtable will examine the extent to which financial reporting should include measurement uncertainties, and the information investors find important to understanding and assessing those uncertainties. 

“We want to consider whether the right balance has been struck to provide investors with useful information,” said SEC Chief Accountant James Kroeker.  “This roundtable discussion will provide us with an opportunity to hear directly from investors about the challenges in understanding the types of uncertainties included in financial reports.”

The roundtable will feature three panels comprised of investors, financial statement preparers, and auditors.  The chairs of the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board will attend as observers.  A final agenda and list of participants will be published closer to the event date.

The roundtable will begin at 10 a.m. in the multipurpose room at the SEC’s headquarters at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C.  It is open to the public with seating on a first-come, first-served basis, and also may be viewed via a live webcast on the SEC website.

A briefing paper highlighting the issues to be considered at the roundtable is available at http://www.sec.gov/about/offices/oca/ocafrseries-briefing-measurement.htm.  The SEC staff welcomes comment on the issues to be addressed and suggestions for potential participants at the roundtable, using the following methods:

Andrew J. Bowden Named Head of SEC’s National Investment Adviser/Investment Company Examination Program

The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that Andrew J. Bowden has been appointed an Associate Director to lead the National Investment Adviser/Investment Company Examination Program in the SEC’s Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations (OCIE). He starts on November 1.

Mr. Bowden comes to the SEC from Legg Mason, where he held senior executive positions in its legal/compliance and business units. Mr. Bowden will oversee a staff of approximately 450 lawyers, accountants, and examiners responsible for the inspections of U.S.-registered investment advisers and investment companies.

“Drew brings extensive experience in the operation and oversight of investment advisers and investment companies and will help us implement our risk-based approach to examination of investment advisers and companies,” said OCIE Director Carlo di Florio. “Drew also has expertise in leading corporate governance initiatives, which will serve us well as we continue our dialogue with senior management and boards on critical business, risk, and regulatory matters.”

Mr. Bowden said, “I am grateful for the opportunity to join the investment adviser/investment company professionals at OCIE. Collectively, they have thousands of years of examination experience, which they use to promote compliance and to ensure that investors are treated fairly. I look forward to supporting them in this mission.”

Mr. Bowden succeeds Gene Gohlke, who retired from the agency earlier this year after 35 years of public service. Since Mr. Gohlke’s retirement, OCIE Deputy Director Norm Champ has served as the Acting Associate Director of the National Investment Adviser/Investment Company Examination Program.

Early in his career, Mr. Bowden worked at Legg Mason, Inc., and later for Legg Mason Capital Management in various roles, including General Counsel, Chief Operating Officer and ultimately Executive Director for Sales, Client Service and Marketing. He also has served on the Board of Governors and Executive Committee of the Investment Advisers Association. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in the Honors English Program at Loyola University in Baltimore and a law degree from The University of Pennsylvania.

OCIE conducts the SEC’s national examination program for investment advisers and investment companies, broker-dealers, self regulatory organizations, clearing agencies, transfer agents, and credit rating agencies to fulfill its mission of promoting compliance, preventing fraud, monitoring risk and informing SEC policy.

SEC Charges Denver-Area Hedge Fund Manager in Expansion of Mariner Energy Insider Trading Case

The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced additional charges in its insider trading case against Denver-based traders who traded on confidential information in the securities of Mariner Energy Inc. ahead of the oil and gas company’s $3.9 billion takeover by Apache Corporation in April 2010.

In its initial complaint filed on Aug. 5, 2011, the SEC alleged that Mariner Energy board member H. Clayton Peterson tipped his son with confidential details about Mariner Energy’s upcoming acquisition. Drew Clayton Peterson, who was a managing director at a Denver-based investment adviser, then used the inside information to purchase Mariner Energy stock for himself and others.

An amended complaint filed today adds two more defendants to the case – money manager Drew K. Brownstein who is a longtime friend of Drew Peterson, and the hedge fund advisory firm he controls, Big 5 Asset Management LLC. The SEC alleges that Brownstein traded Mariner Energy securities on the basis of inside information he received from Drew Peterson and reaped illicit profits of more than $5 million combined in his own account, the accounts of his relatives, and the accounts of two hedge funds managed by Big 5.

“This case is further evidence of the pervasive nature of insider trading by hedge funds, and a sobering reminder that such conduct is not limited to the immediate vicinity of Wall Street but is taking place in cities around the country,” said Sanjay Wadhwa, Deputy Chief of the SEC Enforcement Division’s Market Abuse Unit and Associate Director of the New York Regional Office. “The SEC is firmly committed to rooting out this illegal activity wherever it occurs, and those who engage in this conduct should consider the severe consequences they will face when caught.”

According to the SEC’s amended complaint, Drew Peterson repeatedly tipped Brownstein about the impending acquisition of Mariner Energy as he learned the information from his father. Brownstein caused two Big 5 hedge funds – the Lion Global Fund LLLP and the Lion Global Master Fund Ltd. – to purchase large quantities of Mariner Energy stock and call option contracts on the basis of the inside information. This was the first time that the Big 5 hedge funds had ever traded Mariner Energy stock or options. Brownstein also purchased thousands of shares of Mariner Energy stock and call option contracts for the accounts of his relatives and for his personal brokerage account. In the days following the announcement of the deal, Brownstein liquidated the positions he had accumulated in Mariner Energy securities.

The SEC’s amended complaint charges each of the defendants with violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The complaint seeks a final judgment permanently enjoining them from future violations of the above provisions of the federal securities laws, ordering them to disgorge their ill-gotten gains plus prejudgment interest, and ordering them to pay financial penalties. The SEC also seeks to permanently prohibit Clayton Peterson from acting as an officer or director of any publicly registered company.

The SEC’s investigation was conducted by Joseph Sansone, a member of the SEC’s Market Abuse Unit in New York, with assistance from Neil Hendelman of the New York Regional Office and Jay Scoggins, Jeffrey Oraker, Bruce Ketter and Craig Ellis of the Denver Regional Office. The SEC acknowledges the ongoing assistance and cooperation of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The SEC’s investigation is continuing. (Press Rel. 2011-218)
