340A: Financial reporting requirements for large overseas companies

You could also call this:

“Big foreign companies in NZ must follow special financial reporting rules”

If you’re a big company from another country operating in New Zealand, you need to follow some special rules about financial reporting. These rules are found in Subpart 2 of Part 11 of the Companies Act 1993. They apply to what the law calls ‘large overseas companies’. To find out if your company is considered a ‘large overseas company’, you can look at section 198 of the Act. This section explains what makes a company ‘large’ in the eyes of the law. If your company fits this description, you’ll need to follow these financial reporting rules.
