The Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) is Australia’s federal law that sets the rules for forming, running and regulating companies, including duties of directors, financial reporting, takeovers and insolvency. For investors, it matters because it creates the legal framework that ensures companies disclose accurate financial information, treats shareholders fairly and imposes penalties for wrongful conduct — much like a rulebook and referee that keeps markets transparent and reduces the risk of fraud.
