Coupled with the changes to political donations and loan settings, the bill also requires all registered parties to disclose their annual financial statements. This will provide greater transparency about all income sources for parties, as well as their key expenditure categories and their capital asset base. This has the support of over 85 percent of respondents to the same Victoria University survey from last year. There should be minimal compliance costs associated with this requirement, since almost every registered party already prepares financial statements in some form.
