It measures and tracks changes in regulations affecting 10 areas in the life cycle of a business: starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting electricity, registering property, getting credit, protecting investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts and resolving insolvency. In a series of annual reports Doing Business presents quantitative indicators on business regulations and the protection of property rights that can be compared across 183 economies, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, over time. This economy profile presents the Doing Business indicators for Australia. To allow useful comparison, it also provides data for other selected economies (comparator economies) for each indicator. The data in this report are current as of June 1, 2011 (except for the paying taxes indicators, which cover the period January- December 2010). The data not only highlight the extent of obstacles to doing business; they also help identify the source of those obstacles, supporting policy makers in designing regulatory reform.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO SERVICESACCOUNTINGBANK LOANBANKRUPTCYBANKRUPTCY LAWBANKRUPTCY LAWSBORROWERBUSINESS ENTRYBUSINESS ENTRY POINTBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS INDICATORBUSINESS INDICATORSBUSINESS REGISTRATIONBUSINESS REGULATIONBUSINESS REGULATIONSBUSINESS SERVICESBUSINESSESBUYERBUYERSCADASTRECAPITAL GAINSCERTIFICATECERTIFICATE OF TITLECERTIFICATESCOLLATERALCOLLATERAL AGREEMENTCOLLATERAL AGREEMENTSCOLLATERAL FOR LOANSCOLLATERAL LAWCOLLATERAL LAWSCOLLATERAL REGISTRYCOMMERCIAL ACTIVITIESCOMMERCIAL BUSINESSCOMPANY LAWSCOMPETITIVENESSCOMPLIANCE COSTSCONFLICT OF INTERESTCONTRACTORSCOPYRIGHTCREDIT HISTORYCREDIT INFORMATIONCREDIT INFORMATION SYSTEMCREDIT INFORMATION SYSTEMSCREDIT SOURCECREDITORSCRIMINAL OFFENCESCUSTOMER REQUESTDEBTORDEBTSDEFAULTSDEPOSITDERIVATIVEDISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTSDISTRIBUTION NETWORKDOMAINE-MAILECONOMIC ACTIVITYELECTRICITYELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONENFORCEMENT PROCEDURESFAIR TRADEFINANCIAL HISTORYFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL STATEMENTSFINANCIAL TRANSACTIONSFRAUDGOOD PRACTICEHARD COPYHOLDINGIMMOVABLE PROPERTYIMPACT ASSESSMENTINCOME TAXINFORMATION DEPARTMENTINFORMATION SHARINGINFORMATION SYSTEMINFORMATION SYSTEMSINSPECTIONINSPECTIONSINSTALLATIONINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL FINANCEINVESTOR PROTECTIONINVESTOR PROTECTIONSLEGAL RIGHTSLENDERLENDERSLEVYLICENSELICENSESLIENSLIMITED LIABILITYLOCAL BUSINESSLOCAL GOVERNMENTMACROECONOMIC CONDITIONSMANUFACTURINGMATERIALMINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTMINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTSMINORITY INVESTORSMINORITY SHAREHOLDERMINORITY SHAREHOLDER PROTECTIONSMORTGAGEMORTGAGESMOVABLE ASSETSMOVABLE COLLATERALNEW MARKETSNOTARIESNOTARYONE-STOP SHOPORIGINAL ASSETSOVERHEADPAYROLLPDFPERSONAL ASSETSPOSSESSORY SECURITYPRIVATE CREDITPRIVATE CREDIT BUREAUPRIVATE CREDIT BUREAUSPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR CREDITPROCUREMENTPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC REGISTRYPURCHASINGQUERIESREAL PROPERTYREGISTRIESREGISTRYREGULATORY ENVIRONMENTREGULATORY REQUIREMENTSREPAYMENTRESULTRESULTSRETURNSALESSALES AGREEMENTSEARCHSECURITIESSECURITIES REGULATIONSSECURITY INTERESTSERVICE PROVIDERSERVICE PROVIDERSSHAREHOLDERSHAREHOLDERSSTAMP DUTYSTOCK EXCHANGESUPERANNUATIONTAXTAX RATETAX RATESTAX RULESTAX SYSTEMTELEPHONETELEPHONE LINETRADE CREDITORSTRADINGTRANSACTIONTRANSACTIONS SYSTEMTRANSMISSIONTRANSPARENCYTURNOVERUSERSUSESVERIFICATIONWAREHOUSEWAREHOUSESReportWorld Bank10.1596/27177
