New Zealand: FMA publishes new edition of its Corporate Governance Handbook

The Financial Markets Authority has published an updated edition of its Corporate Governance Handbook: see here (pdf). The Handbook has been updated following the publication last year of an updated edition of the NZX Corporate Governance Code. The new Handbook sets out eight principles, each with accompanying guidance and commentary from the FMA. It is intended primarily for non-listed and public-sector companies and, as such, complements the NZX Code.
