Submissions invited in response to Interim Report A

Submissions open until 25 February 2022.
The Commission seeks feedback on 16 proposals and 8 questions in relation to reform of corporations and financial services legislation. The report contains 13 recommendations for reform, which the Government could begin implementing immediately.

The ALRC’s Interim Report A – part of a three-year review of complexity in Commonwealth legislation regulating corporations and financial services – focuses in particular on the use and design of definitions in legislation.

Interim Report A contains recommendations, proposals, and questions in relation to the reform of corporations and financial services legislation. 

The recommendations in Interim Report A relate to matters of consensus at this stage in the process and are accordingly in a form that may be implemented prior to the conclusion of this Inquiry, if accepted by the Australian Government.
