  • HC-A.2 HC-A.2 Module History

    • HC-A.2.1

      This Module was first issued in July 2011 by the CBB, following the issuance of the Corporate Governance Code by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce in March 2010. This Module was drafted to be in line with the new Code and to include requirements that are considered best practice in the capital market. Any material changes that have subsequently been made to this Module are annotated with the calendar quarter date in which the change was made: Chapter UG-3 provides further details on Rulebook maintenance and version control.
