Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a formal proclamation by the Governor-General that switches on part of the Corporate Law Economic Reform Program (Audit Reform and Corporate Disclosure) Act 2004.

Specifically, it declares that Schedule 3 of that Act will begin operation on 26 July 2004.

Why this matters:

Legislation often passes Parliament in one piece but starts in stages (called schedules).
Without this proclamation, the rules in Schedule 3 would sit inactive on the statute books.
This document is the legal trigger that makes those specific audit reform and corporate disclosure rules enforceable law from that date.
