The Knowledge Group Live Webcast Series, the leading producer of regulatory focused webcasts, announced today that it has scheduled a live webcast entitled: The Future of CFIUS: Recent Legislative Updates and Developments LIVE Webcast. This event is scheduled on December 17, 2018 at 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM ET.
- New York, NY (1888PressRelease) November 27, 2018 - Event Synopsis:
Despite the drastic move of the current administration to strengthen the national security landscape with the recent regulations and legislation, it has been years since the Congress rewrote the laws governing the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), which, as seen by many, lacked clarity in the laws governing foreign investment activities. On June 18, 2018, the Senate passed a legislation that would significantly reform the oversight and authority of CFIUS. The Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act (FIRRMA), as a part of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (NDAA), will overhaul and expand CFIUS' jurisdiction. The reform will allow the Committee to review deals concerning the transfer of control of U.S. businesses to non-U.S. citizens. This will also provide CFIUS with the authority to review transfers of minority interests to companies dealing with critical infrastructure or “emerging and foundational technologies”.
With the new Act in place, it is expected that it would further strengthen the goal of the current administration to protect and toughen national security.
Listen as a panel of thought leaders and professionals assembled by The Knowledge Group provide the audience an in-depth discussion of the recent CFIUS reform. Speakers will give highlights to the recent developments and updates surrounding this significant topic. They will also present best strategies and practical tips to help businesses and organizations comply with the new legislation.
This LIVE webcast will examine the most significant issues in the mix including:
• CFIUS Reforms
• CFIUS Trends and Updates
• The Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act: An Overview
• Scope, Coverage and Considerations
• Significant Developments in 2019
