"We are reviewing the framework for monitoring and disclosure of utilisation of issue proceeds, with the objective of improving timely disclosures and streamlining the compliance process," Pandey said. He said a company making a disclosure does not necessarily mean it has become transparent. "True transparency is not the volume of information.
