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    Â
- 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.’
