2003 Annual Report

MEMBERS

The Securities Commission consists of not less than five nor more than ten Members appointed by the Governor-General on the recommendation of the Minister of Commerce. Members are appointed for their knowledge of, or experience in industry, commerce, economics, law, accountancy, public administration or securities. At least one Member must be a barrister or solicitor of not less than seven years' practice. Members hold office for a term not exceeding five years and may be re-appointed.

Liz Hickey retired in May after 11 years' service. Liz's skills and knowledge have benefited the Commission during that time, in particular her in-depth understanding of accounting standards and financial reporting. We are grateful for her very significant contribution.
