    ASX Corporate Governance Council User Survey and Update on current Council activities
    The newly established ASX Regulatory Policy Unit wants to hear from you in relation to 60-day Reporting Deadlines and Disclosure around Bookbuilds. This month we also cover Corporate Governance council activities and key findings of a survey aimed at understanding the relevance of corporate governance disclosure to the investment and analyst community.

    Investor Relations survey results
    ASX recently surveyed our listed SMEs to understand their approach to managing Investor Relations and to identify whether ASX could play a role in assisting SME's improve their IR functions.
    Watch Out: Potential to Waive Legal Professional Privilege in ASX Announcements
    The consequences of an inadvertent waiver of a privileged legal advice can be damaging and embarrassing. Andrew Harpur, Senior Associate, from Blake Dawson Waldron highlights this issue.
    SMEs lead the way in market capitalisation growth!
    Despite the significant obstacle of capital raising for SMEs, when compared to blue chip companies over a four year period SME growth has by far exceeded the growth of blue chip companies.
