Background & Context
3 stories
3.1
Municipal bond continuing-disclosure events most issuers miss.
MSRB Rule 15c2-12 requires issuers to file notice of certain events within 10 business days. The list runs to 16 categories now, including some (insolvency of obligated person, modifications to rights of bondholders, financial obligations material to investors) that are easily missed without a tracking process.
Why It Matters
A pattern of late or missed event filings can trigger SEC enforcement and impair the issuer's future market access. The reputational cost outlasts the immediate penalty.
3.2
The federal grant cost-allowability question to ask first.
Before incurring any cost on a federal grant, the question is whether 2 CFR 200 (Uniform Guidance) treats the cost as allowable, allocable, and reasonable. "Reasonable" is the most-litigated of the three; auditors will second-guess it after the fact using a prudent-person standard.
Why It Matters
Disallowed costs must be repaid, with interest, and in serious cases trigger pass-through audits of other grants. The standard does not distinguish between intent and oversight.
3.3
Open-meeting notice defects that void the action taken.
Most state open-meeting laws require posted notice with sufficient specificity for the public to know what is being decided. Generic "discussion of personnel matters" or "old business" descriptions routinely fail challenge, voiding any vote taken on items not specifically noticed.
Why It Matters
A voided action requires a re-vote at a properly noticed meeting — including any contract execution that depended on it. Counterparties to voided contracts have leverage they did not have before the defect surfaced.
