The Simpler Regulatory System Package update

The Simpler Regulatory System Package was passed by the House of Representatives and introduced into the Senate on 14 June 2007.

The Government intends to pass the Bills this week so that certain provisions can commence on 1 July 2007.

As the Bills cover a range of topics (Financial Services Regulation, Company Reporting Obligations,  Auditor Independence,  Corporate Governance,  Fundraising,  Takeovers, and  Compliance) which I summarised here, I will do separate notes dealing with the final changes in each area.

UPDATE: Detailed notes now added on

Company reporting changes

Corporate governance

Fundraising

Takeover rules
