Informal Corporate Disclosure Under Federal Securities Law examines the regulation of informal disclosure e.g., press releases, speeches, analyst conference calls, webcasts, and investor roadshows as distinguished from formal, highly structured disclosure in SEC filings. The coverage includes discussion of federal securities law, rules and court decisions; self-regulatory organization rules for listed companies; and standards of practice prescribed by the National Investor Relations Institute (NIRI). The 2008 Edition includes new discussion of materiality principles governing quantitative financial disclosures, specifically the views expressed by the SEC Advisory Committee on Improvements to Financial Reporting. The new edition also examines litigation over the sufficiency of cautionary language in communications about new products under development. In addition, the work includes discussion of electronic shareholder forums, the state fiduciary duty to disclose facts in connection with a merger or other transaction requiring shareholder action, and securities fraud liability issues triggered by contract representations incorporated by reference into a proxy statement or other disclosure document.

The purpose of this qualitative study was to conduct an in-depth narrative exploration of the sexual identity management experiences of lesbian executives, whose work-life stories were mostly untold until now. They navigated an invisible identity in a visible organizational position and their lesbian identity remained a subtext that permeated their relationships with others. The findings revealed four dimensions of experiences reported by the women in this study regarding managing the disclosure of their sexual identity in the workplace: (a) navigating intersections of sexual identity and multiple identities, (b) reactions of others to how they manage their sexual identity in the workplace, (c) feelings related to their sexual identity management, and (d) strategies used to manage their sexual identity in the workplace. Many of the women adopted one of three patterns of disclosure decisions that may be characterized as either Cautious, Confident, or Conditional. The need for authenticity was a driving force in managing their sexual identity disclosure decisions. Since the work-life narratives of lesbian executives have never before been captured in academic research, this study is significant in that it provides vivid descriptions about the management of their workplace disclosure experiences and thus a foundation for future research. The participants' work-life narratives may also provide inspiration for other women so they may (a) realize they are not alone, (b) learn what the effective strategies were for others, and (c) recognize their experiences are not so different from other lesbians in executive positions. Finally, this study may provide coaching and counseling professionals with a clear description of workplace sexual identity management experiences so they may help their clients find their own voices and unique ways of managing their disclosure decisions.

Child sexual assault (CSA) is a reality for many children, affecting extensive areas of their psychological functioning. The discovery of child sexual assault is a major stressor in the lives of a child’s non-offending parent. Numerous studies have revealed that the attachment and support of the non-offending parent, most commonly the mother, has an impact on the child’s long-term adjustment to the abusive experience. The current study aimed to investigate the impact of a disclosure of sexual assault on the non-offending mother and her relationship with her child. Specifically, this study examined parenting stress, attachment, and coping styles in mothers of children who have been sexually assaulted, and examined if the impact of a child’s disclosure is different depending upon the identity of the perpetrator and the perpetrator’s relationship to the mother. The outcomes of this study have implications for in assessment and intervention practices, to better facilitate the adjustment of children and families who have been affected by CSA.
