马来西亚Bursa修改公共上市公司年度报告的时间表
股东和投资者将及时收到年度报告
马来西亚Bursa将缩短根据上市要求发布年度报告的时间表。这些更改将在阶段中引入,以便为公共上市公司提供时间准备并满足新要求的时间。
Under the phased approach, Public Listed Companies are required to issue their annual reports for financial year ending on or after 31 December 2014, within 5 months from the close of the financial year. Following that, annual reports for financial year ending on or after 31 December 2015 must be issued within 4 months from the close of the financial year.
The new requirements were made following the public consultation paper issued on 31 May 2013 and the review undertaken by a taskforce established under the Corporate Governance Blueprint 2011 and consisting of representatives from the Securities Commission, Bursa Malaysia, Audit Oversight Board (“AOB”), selected industry associations and listed issuers. In finalising the requirements above, the Exchange took due consideration of the feedback and comments received from listed issuers and relevant industry associations pursuant to the public consultation paper.
“我们认为,新要求是平衡的,并且将实现改善年度报告及时性的目标,而不会不合理地负担上市公司的负担。同时,我们还将能够使我们的年度报告发行时间表与其他市场的做法保持一致。”马来西亚Bersa Berhad首席执行官Dato’Tajuddin Atan说。
Further, in a move to facilitate compliance by Public Listed Companies with the shorter timeframe for issuance of annual reports, Bursa Malaysia has also:
- 扩展了可以在CD-ROM以外的任何其他电子格式发出年度报告的形式;和
- 删除了列出的发行人的义务,以在上市要求(包括年度报告)下向交易所交换15份指定文件的副本,以促进上市发行人的提高效率和节省成本。
除了年度报告外,发布季度报告和年度审计财务报表的时间表没有变化。季度报告和年度审计财务报表将在本财政年度结束后的季度结束后2个月内继续发行。
