The National Defense Authorization Act of 2023 was passed into law at the close of 2022 containing the Financial Data Transparency Act (FDTA). FDTA requires regulatory bodies to propose, adopt and enhance consistent and open data standards of disseminated information. Issuers of municipal bonds fall within the provisions of FDTA due to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. What is in FDTA? How may it impact your government? What about compliance upon implementation in 2027? All of these will be discussed during this two CPE session.
