ASIC updates internal governance and accountability frameworks

Published

ASIC has updated its internal governance framework and implemented a new accountability regime.

Strengthening governance and accountability measures are part of ÷ÈÓ°Ö±²¥â€™s strategic change program and follow on from the recommendations of the Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry.

The framework articulates how ÷ÈÓ°Ö±²¥â€™s Commission collectively exercises its functions and powers to deliver ÷ÈÓ°Ö±²¥â€™s statutory objectives.

The changes include:

  • an updated committee structure to strengthen oversight of executive actions and assist the Commission in the performance of its responsibilities      
  • accountability statements for Executive Directors and Commissioners that identify core responsibilities and individual accountabilities.

ASIC Chair James Shipton said, ‘The update reflects the importance ÷ÈÓ°Ö±²¥ places on transparency, regulatory integrity and effective oversight and management of its functions and responsibilities.’
