Rakesh Gopalan, a partner in Troutman Pepper Locke’s Corporate Practice Group, was quoted in the December 19, 2025 Accounting & Business Magazine article, “US Mulls End to Quarterly Reporting.”
- ‘While quarterly reporting can cause a focus on short-term goals, a shift to a longer reporting period will result in longer periods of silence, where companies and insiders have knowledge of their results and the rest of the market is in the dark,’ Rakesh Gopalan, a partner at US-based law firm Troutman Pepper Locke, says. ‘It could lead to manipulation by companies, or at the least it could hamstring companies who would otherwise want to access the capital markets.
- ‘Of course, longer reporting periods are prevalent in other jurisdictions, including Europe, so it is possible to navigate these issues. It just involves a fundamental shift in mindset and processes in the US,’ adds Gopalan, who is a corporate governance expert.
