Audit Quality Review report
Look out for this report next week, which summarises our findings from this year’s audit quality reviews. We are also publishing guidance on how company directors can contribute to high-quality audits.
Enhanced auditor’s reports – a stocktake of the first year in New Zealand
Since the new and revised auditing international standards were issued in January 2015, the External Reporting Board (XRB) and FMA have worked together to review 178 auditors’ reports. We also interviewed auditors, directors, preparers of financial statements and investors to learn about their experiences. Our findings will be published at the end of November.
Peer-to-peer lending and crowdfunding returns report
This year, licensed crowdfunding and peer-to-peer lending providers were required to submit an annual regulatory return for the first time. A report sharing this information will be out later this month.
Refreshed Investor Capability strategy
We will shortly be releasing our updated Investor Capability strategy. The refreshed strategy broadens our focus from ‘over-50s with money’ to anyone participating in investing activities where our work indicates there is risk. It also explains the work we do to influence how industry engages with investors.
