Preventing the perils of selective disclosure

Article Abstract:

The risks posed by selective disclosure of inside information to securities analysts and other investment professionals can be minimized by taking steps to control the flow of information to investors and the marketplace. One or two spokespeople should represent a public company in communications with analysts, these people should be provided with sufficient information and records should be kept of such communications. Securities firms must retain all research papers, treat all accounts equally and maintain internal review procedures.
