| Australia Announces Enquiry Into AGMs |
by Mary Swire, Tax-News.com, Hong Kong
Friday, December 09, 2011
The Australian government has announced that the future of the company annual
general meeting (AGM) is to be examined.
According to the Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasurer David Bradbury, the
way in which the AGM operates will be looked at by the Corporations and Markets
Advisory Committee (CAMAC).
Bradbury explains that the aim of the inquiry is to help inform future policy
directions about how the regulations governing the operation of the AGM might
be refined to encourage improved outcomes for companies and shareholders.
The government has recently reformed Australia’s executive remuneration
laws and Bradbury explains that “boards must justify the pay of executives
so that shareholders are given the power to have a say”.
Following these recent changes, the focus of the examination will be centred
on the impact of technological innovations and globalization on how information
is distributed and how shareholders interact with their companies.
Bradbury concluded by expressing his enthusiasm for the move and hoped that
the nature of the AGM can evolve and bring great improvements for the future
of Australia.
