The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) is seeking feedback to improve its small business communication, inviting businesses to participate in an online survey.

The survey aims to identify the best ways ASIC can communicate with small businesses about their legal obligations, including those covering registration and licensing, investors, financial consumers and user of financial markets regulated by ASIC.

The survey will:

  • give ASIC a better understanding about what small businesses know and do not know about their compliance obligations
  • assess if small businesses know where to find information about their compliance obligations
  • seek feedback from small businesses about how ASIC can make compliance easier.

The small business survey is open until 21 December 2012 and will take approximately five minutes to complete.

By completing the survey, there is no requirement that small businesses identify themselves. The information obtained from the survey will not be used for any purpose other than to assist ASIC to develop its engagement strategy with small businesses.
