Observing ASIC’s regulatory outcomes since the Global Financial Crisis it is clear that there are regulatory and enforcement tools missing from ASIC’s regulatory tool box.
Limitations in ASIC’s regulatory suite were first highlighted by the CBA and Macquarie Bank Enforceable Undertakings (EU). More recently we have seen issues in the regulation of data collection in life insurance, supervision of platform and financial advice remediation programs, and phoenix(ing) licensees.
