What are the types of regulation?
Posted May 26th, 2007 by Dr James Pratt
Business is subject to three main types of regulations:
1. Regulations imposing obligations for the benefit of other parties (e.g. consumer rights, health and safety, border control regulations).
2. Regulations requiring financial payments – taxes, rates, levies, loan repayments etc.
3. Regulations for information – requiring businesses to record or disclose information to the government (e.g. Statistics NZ surveys) or to third parties (e.g. company financial reporting requirements).
