“Aspects of Market Integrity – Where Next?”
An afternoon Conference Forum organised by the Discipline of Business Law, Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Sydney
2.30 - 6.00pm, Thursday, 1 October 2009 at the Hilton Hotel, 488 George Street Sydney
Cocktails will take place at the end of the conference

The recent release of the CAMAC issues paper and report on “Aspects of Market Integrity” has evidenced the existence of substantial policy, legal and regulatory concerns relating to capital market conduct, oversight, regulation and enforcement. Additionally, recommendations in the report have significant potential impact on corporate governance, listed company management and industry practice. Issues of directors taking margin loans over company shares, company insiders trading during “black-out” periods, “rumourtrage” – the spreading of false or misleading information and corporate briefings to analysts, are particularly relevant in the context of insider trading, continuous disclosure, market misconduct and corporate governance.

Key participants include:
The Hon Chris Bowen, Minister for Financial Services, Superannuation and Corporate Law
Commissioner Belinda Gibson, Australian Securities and Investments Commission
Mr Malcolm Starr, General Manager, Regulatory and Public Policy, ASX
Mr John Colvin, Chief Executive Officer, Australian Institute of Company Directors
