A review of the Act

The Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (Act or FMCA) was introduced as a ‘once-in-a generation opportunity to re-write our securities law – which has been subject to decades of ad hoc reform – in an integrated and coherent manner’.

It is the result of a comprehensive review of financial markets legislation and takes into account the work of the Capital Markets Development Taskforce, the effects of the global financial crisis, and the failure of finance companies.

The Act completely overhauls existing securities and financial markets law with a consolidated financial markets conduct regime in an effort to improve financial markets conduct and restore investor confidence.
