Description

Covid-19 and the remote prospectus drafting and verification sessions that it promoted, have affected the way in which part of the less formal diligence process is done. In some jurisdictions nothing may have changed, but in others the changes have been profound – and they seem here to stay. Is this good, bad or indifferent? An expert panel will consider whether the market has merely developed a more efficient way of working, or whether standards risk being eroded. The panel will analyse some of the new practices from an issuer and from an underwriter perspective, and an attempt will be made to formulate practical guidelines that safeguard the interests of investors while retaining efficiency gains made during the pandemic.
