Illustration for Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013

When you deal with financial products on markets, you need to know about continuous disclosure provisions. These provisions require companies that are listed on a market to tell people about important events or matters as they happen. This is so that people who are involved in the market can have the information they need.

The companies must notify the market operator about the events or matters, and this information will then be made available to everyone involved in the market. You can find more information about this by looking at the relevant section of a previous law. This helps to keep everyone informed and up to date with what is happening in the market.
