CSA GLOBAL AND HOPGOODGANIM PRESENT: Trends and Insights on Independent Export Reporting and What the Regulators want to see!
Join CSA Global and HopgoodGanim Lawyers for a complimentary information briefing to help you better understand how to reduce the delays when disclosing material information, and learn how to set the right level of disclosure when reporting to shareholders and the ASX.
Recently, ASIC increased its surveillance of Independent Expert Reports (IERs). The increased scrutiny has led to licence variations for some independent experts and the requests for increased information in the provision of IERs and technical specialist reports which have delayed corporate activities.
Attending this briefing session will help you to:
• Obtain an overview of the regulatory environment for IERs.
• Understand the key drivers for directors in determining whether to call for an IER in assessing control transactions and whether to recommend a deal.
• Discover how ASIC (and where relevant ASX) are monitoring prospectus disclosure and expert reports.
• Learn how ASIC views reasonable basis for mining project disclosure.
• Understand the challenges of reporting scoping studies and other early state information to avoid issues with regulators.
• Recognise how the reporting of metal equivalents adhere to transparency, materiality and competence.
• Learn the requirements on how to report production targets and what you are required to disclose.
• Gain an overview of ASIC’s approach to valuations and acceptable methodologies.
• Learn from some recent issues for IERs and insights into issues to look out for.
This session is designed for C-Suite, Company Secretaries, Managing Directors, Directors, Associate Directors, Partners and Administrators.
Join us at HopgoodGanim Lawyers | Level 27, Allendale Square | 77 St Georges Terrace in Perth at 5.15pm for a 5.30pm start on Tuesday 22 October 2019
