Last week, Ankura sponsored the annual Securities Docket Enforcement Forum DC 2024 conference at the Mayflower Hotel. The conference featured a keynote address by Sanjay Wadhwa, the Securities Exchange Commission's (SEC) Acting Director of Enforcement. The forum included discussions by nearly a dozen senior SEC enforcement officials and over 40 experts, covering topics such as cryptocurrency, whistleblowers, financial and accounting fraud, AI's impact, litigation and investigation strategies, SEC-related criminal matters, financial firms, insider trading, climate, and cybersecurity.
