Australia's corporate regulator has laid more charges against businessman Clive Palmer, accusing him of misusing his position as a company director seven years ago.

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) commissioner John Price told a joint parliamentary committee on Friday that the mining magnate had recently been charged with four offences relating to alleged conduct in 2013.

Mr Price said Mr Palmer was served with a summons earlier this month, requiring him to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on March 20.

"Mr Palmer has been charged with two counts of contravening section 408C(1d) of the Criminal Code of Queensland by dishonestly gaining a benefit or advantage, pecuniary or otherwise, for another person," he told the committee.

"And two counts of contravening s184 of section 2 of the Corporations Act by dishonestly using his position of a director of a corporation with the intention of directly or indirectly gaining an advantage from someone else.

"These charges relate to conduct which is alleged to have taken place in 2013."

Mr Price said it would be inappropriate to comment further but confirmed ASIC still had "some other aspects of our investigations on foot".

"We have investigations ongoing in relation to a number of entities — I'd just prefer not to go further at this stage," he said.

The ABC has contacted Mr Palmer for comment.

Mr Palmer is already being prosecuted by ASIC over a separate alleged corporate breach relating to the proposed takeover of timeshare villas at the Coolum resort on the Sunshine Coast in 2012.

Last year, he launched a bid to have those criminal charges against him and his company, Palmer Leisure Coolum, thrown out of court but a Supreme Court judge said the court wouldn't intervene in the case .
