Consultation: Financial Reporting - Regulatory policy for financial reporting designations and exemptions

Shaping the future of our markets

When the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 comes into effect on 1 April 2014 we will have regulatory powers to vary the financial reporting obligations of FMC reporting entities by:

• Varying public accountability designations, and
• Granting exemptions.

We are now seeking feedback on how we intend to apply our new powers, and the immediate changes we propose to make to both designations and exemptions under these powers.

Consultation: Financial Reporting - Regulatory policy for financial reporting designations and exemptions

We invite you to review our policies and the proposed changes and share your feedback on them with us. This is our chance to work together to shape the future for our industry.
