Mary L. Schapiro: “We really have to show a single-minded commitment to putting investors first in every single thing we do.”

I believe that the definition of 'accredited investor' as it stands today does a poor job of screening out people who are unsophisticated.

I commend Congressman Westmoreland and Ranking Member Frank for bringing forward bipartisan legislation, H.R. 3503, to bring transparency to the PCAOB's disciplinary proceedings.

This time around, I have had more than a few people in my office weeping with fear about what might happen to them because one person or another was looking into their behavior.

This is about my belief that their structure presents systemic risk.
