    An authorised body is an entity (eg company or partnership) named on a Financial Advice Provider licence. A licensed FAP must agree to an authorised body operating under its licence. The authorised body must be named on the financial advice provider’s transitional licence application, and the licensed FAP will be required to provide information about the authorised body when it applies for its licence.

    Managing impacts on financial reporting for FMC reporting entities and Managed Investment Schemes

    The rapidly evolving COVID-19 situation is having a significant impact on FMC reporting entities’ financial reporting obligations and the ability to perform audits. Auditors should continue to comply fully with required professional and ethical standards. It is important that sufficient time is taken by both the entity and the auditor to complete the annual financial reporting and auditing process, even if this results in a delay in reporting.
    The FMA specifies guidance to auditors for their reporting obligations in these uncertain times.
