Observations

The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) and Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) issued a letter earlier this month acknowledging that a slowdown in finalizing the rules governing the Financial Accountability Regime (FAR) may delay banks' implementation.

The FAR, which was passed by Parliament in September 2023, extends the previous Banking Executive Accountability Regime (BEAR) to the entire financial sector. However, the specifics of the regime are to be laid out in "ministerial rules," which must be signed off on by the country's Financial Services Minister, Stephen Jones.
