New Zealand's Financial Markets Authority Update 30 May 2013 - Hybrid Financial Instrument Disclosures

Date 30/05/2013

FMA has just finished our report on hybrid financial instrument disclosures. As part of our theme based monitoring projects on financial reporting, we have reviewed the accounting classification and disclosure of financial instruments, classified as hybrid instruments, and listed on the NZX debt market.

We consider that disclosures around hybrid financial instruments need improvement and would like all issuers of hybrid financial instruments to reconsider your disclosures in regard to these.

FMA’s findings and recommendations are listed in the report.
