Summary/Abstract: The aim of the Senate’s proposal to amend the Acts is to improve the reliability of financial reporting of ‘public interest entities’. Attention was drawn to the need to strengthen the protection of nonprofessional investors in the capital market against potential abuses by entrepreneurs participating in the issuing and offering of corporate bonds. According to the author of the opinion, if implemented correctly, the project could improve, among other things, the quality of financial information transfer and the security of capital market transactions. At the same time, the author accuses the bill of increasing the regulatory burden, which may reduce the competitiveness of the capital market and also have negative consequences for the state and local self-government budgets.
