GEN - JSE Limited - Proposed Amendments To The Listings Requirements Of The
JSE Limited ("The JSE") For Auditors And Reporting Accountants
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE LISTINGS REQUIREMENTS OF THE JSE LIMITED ("THE
JSE") FOR AUDITORS AND REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS
The JSE has decided to explore the feasibility of establishing a process by
which auditors would be approved before being allowed to perform statutory
audits or other assurance engagements for Issuers listed on the JSE. The
Listings Requirements at present include certain requirements relating to the
acceptance of auditors. There is, however, a need to enhance those
requirements to ensure fairness, transparency and objectivity of the current
criteria.
The proposed draft Listings Requirements envisage the establishment of a JSE
Register for Auditors and they have been released for comment today. A copy
is available on the JSE website under the "How to list", "Listing
Requirements" link.
Interested parties are invited to attend one of two public information
sessions to be held on 14 May 2008 at the JSE Auditorium. The first session
at 10h00 will be a high-level overview aimed at Issuers, Sponsors, Advisors
and other interested parties. A more detailed session will follow at 12h00
for auditors and other parties who may consider applying to be placed on the
Register. Please RSVP to NombuleloN@jse.co.za by no later than 17h00 on 9 May
2008, as numbers may be limited.
Interested parties should submit their comments on the proposed new Listings
Requirements in writing by fax to 011 520 8596 or email TheroshneeP@jse.co.za
by no later than 17h00 on 23 May 2008.
