New Zealand's Financial Markets Authority: Presentation By Rob Everett To The Institute Of Directors

Date 04/09/2014

This morning I am going to cover the following areas:

• Expectations of directors – that’s expectations held by the regulator - but also by shareholders and consumers.
• Some remarks specific to New Zealand, notably on conflicts of interest and the pool of director talent in New Zealand and how we can improve it.
• The Financial Markets Conduct Act, and the opportunities it brings not only for financial services firms, but firms that are issuing debt or equity, or raising funds in some way.
• And finally I want to remind you of something that I know you all recognise.  That the role of a non-executive director is one worth undertaking.  Despite its tribulations, directorships contribute to the welfare of this country in a substantial way, and at the Financial Markets Authority (FMA) we greatly value that contribution.
