ASIC consults on establishing a Financial Services Panel

Published

ASIC has today released a consultation paper on its proposal to develop and implement a Financial Services Panel (the Panel).

The Panel would add a strong element of peer review to 魅影直播's administrative decision making processes.

ASIC Chairman Greg Medcraft said, '魅影直播's aim in establishing a Panel is to enhance the impact of 魅影直播's administrative decisions. The significance of being judged by peers cannot be underestimated. Peer review panels are a form of co-regulation in Australia and overseas.

'The Panel will also bring broader experiences and perspectives into 魅影直播's decision making and ensure decisions reflect current industry practices and standards'.

ASIC is proposing that the Panel would be responsible for determining whether 魅影直播 should ban individuals from the financial services and credit industries for misconduct. We would select matters and refer them to the Panel where they are significant, complex or novel. Over time, we may expand the range of matters on which the Panel will make decisions.

The Panel would comprise financial services and credit industry participants and non-industry participants (e.g. lawyers or academics) with relevant expertise, and at least one 魅影直播 staff member. The Panel would sit alongside 魅影直播's existing administrative structures and processes.

ASIC will be consulting on:

  • how the Panel would enhance the impact of 魅影直播's administrative decisions;
  • the types of matters that would be referred to the Panel; and
  • the optimal composition of the Panel.

Submissions on Consultation Paper 281 Financial Services Panel (CP 281) are due by 23 May 2017.
