Policy Statements
The Association has released a suite of 'Policy Statements' reflecting shareholder views on a range of corporate practice, corporate governance and disclosure issues. The release of the statements was one of the most important milestones in the history of the ASA, because for the first time companies wanting a shareholder perspective could now refer to it chapter and verse.
 
The ASA is aware of the profusion of corporate governance papers and guidelines and has deliberately kept each paper brief. As membership and company coverage grows, the ASA is continuing to develop, refine and publicise shareholder-centric policies which are then released to the corporate sector and the investment community. The statements are reviewed periodically.
 
Our members’ views on ASA Policy Statements are always well-received. The ASA releases exposure drafts of potential policy statements to members and invites comments on exposure drafts up to the 20th day of the month following its release. Please mail comments to ASA, PO Box 519, Chatswood, NSW, 2057 or email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
