Review of financial information in offer documents

The Securities Commission has released a draft practice note about the application of accounting standards in relation to investment statements and prospectuses. As a result of the adoption of international financial reporting over coming years, questions have arisen about how prospective financial information should be presented in offer documents during the transition period.

The Securities Commission has issued a request for comments on the draft practice note.

The request for comment and the draft practice note are available from: www.sec-com.govt.nz.
