150 Reporting requirements
Reports for periods ending after the commencement time
(1) If:
(a) immediately before the commencement time, a law required AFMA or a director to provide a report (whether financial statements or otherwise) for a period; and
(b) the period ends after the commencement time;
AFMA must provide the report, as required, for so much of the period as occurs before the commencement time.
(2) If:
(a) under subitem (1), AFMA is required to provide a report for a part of a period; and
(b) AFMA is also required to provide a similar report for the remainder of the period;
AFMA may meet the requirements in a single report for the period.
Reports for periods ending before the commencement time
(3) If:
(a) a law required AFMA or a director to provide a report (whether financial statements or otherwise) for a period that ended before the commencement time; and
(b) the report has not been provided by the commencement time;
AFMA must provide the report as required.
Application of law to AFMA
(4) To avoid doubt, if, under this item, AFMA is required to provide a report under a law, the law applies to AFMA in respect of the report in the same way as the law would have applied to AFMA or the director in respect of the report.
