Financial institution regulatory returns

Licensed financial institutions are required to provide annual regulatory return information to the FMA. 

Regulatory returns are one of the tools the FMA will use to monitor financial institutions. The financial institution regulatory return data will be analysed over time to identify trends that can be used to inform subsequent monitoring activities. 

Regulatory returns are due annually by 30 September for the 12-month period from 1 July to 30 June. The first return period will commence 1 July 2025.
