ASX Listed Companies - CompliSpace

ASX Listed Companies

CompliSpace provides a set of key governance policies that are essential for ASX Listed companies. They have been developed by governance consultants, experienced managers, lawyers and leading company secretaries following detailed research of ASX Listing Rules, the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and ASX Guidance Notes.

The introduction of the new ASX Corporate Governance Council's Corporate Governance Principles in July 2007 and recent amendments to the Corporations Act through CLERP 9 have changed the landscape within which ASX listed entities now operate.

ASX listed companies
must now follow the 27 recommendations contained in the ASX Corporate Governance Principles, or explain to shareholders why they have not done so, under the ASX’s “if not why not” disclosure requirements. A key feature of this regime is the requirement that ASX listed entities establish a sound system of risk oversight, risk management and internal control. The depth of this requirement has been explained in various ASX publications with the ASX referring to the Australian Risk Management Standard (AS/NZ 4360:2004) as a relevant benchmark.

It is now a commercial imperative for ASX listed entities to establish documented internal risk and compliance programs that work and are auditable.The sheer complexity of the regulatory environment, and the demands of managing effective risk and internal control programs, have now made a manual documented system costly, time consuming and unrealistic in today’s governance climate. CompliSpace can provide businesses with the perfect solution to this, with our fresh, dynamic approach to corporate governance.
