Overview: The new Form 8-K rules requires companies to identify and evaluate the significance of reportable events, and then to prepare and file a report with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) if necessary, within a very limited period of time. To prepare for the new Form 8-K requirements, companies should test their internal reporting structures, as well as their disclosure controls and procedures. This article discusses steps companies consider as they prepare for this significant change in SEC reporting requirements, and summarizes the principal new and amended reporting requirements of Form 8-K.
