What is Regulation FD, and how does it relate to the disclosure of information?

What will be an ideal response?


ANSWER:
The SEC passed Regulation FD in August 2000 in an attempt to prevent the leaking of important information to favored financial analysts prior to announcing it to the general public. It attempts to eliminate selective disclosure in terms of conveying information to financial analysts and the general public. The elimination of selective disclosure is complementary to efforts to increase the level of disclosure to the public.
