Looking at risk in the SEC Form 10-K

This was the Initiative on Rethinking Financial Disclosure. Stratifying the discussion of risk factors, and providing an executive summary were two of the suggestions. An advisory committee of former SEC commisioners and other notables as well as the judges hopefully may see that some of the recommendations are taken further beyond the competition.
