#Australia's financial services regulatory and compliance landscape is changing rapidly - our weekly Regulatory Roundup ensures you are up to date with the most important changes. In each edition, we set out key developments from the past week. In this most recent edition: 👉 American Express breach of Design & Distribution Laws: The Federal Court has ordered American Express Australia Limited to pay $8 million in penalties for breaching the design and distribution obligations in relation to two co-branded credit cards (with David Jones). 👉 ASIC has acknowledged royal assent of the Treasury Laws Amendments (Delivering Better Financial Outcomes and Other Measures) Act 2024 (DBFO Act). 👉 Former BitConnect promoter John Bigatton convicted for providing unlicensed financial advice: Australian promoter of BitConnect, John Bigatton, has been convicted by the Sydney District Court for providing unlicensed financial advice contrary to section 911B(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). 👉 Second round of public consultation on proposed reforms to the AML/CTF regime has drawn to a close: The latest round of consultation on proposed reforms to the anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) regime sought feedback on proposed legislative changes affecting current reporting entities as well as certain entities providing higher-risk services (such as lawyers, accountants, trust and company service providers, real estate agents and dealers in precious metals and stones). 👉 International focus: the US Securities and Exchange Commission last week announced an award of more than $37 million to a whistle-blower who provided information not previously known to the SEC and which significantly contributed to a successful enforcement action. The potential application of bounties is being positively considered by the Government in Australia after the Senate Inquiry on ASIC recommended incentivising whistle-blowers.

💳 Digital assets are revolutionising traditional finance. One of the challenges is fitting them into traditional financial services regulatory frameworks, across multiple global jurisdictions. It is reckless to make assumptions on whether financial products, with the civil and criminal penalties associated with unlicensed activity, are the same across jurisdictions. Read Liam Hennessy's and Celine Xia's insights on the Australian regulatory framework on ‘non-cash payment’ facilities (NCPs), which are deemed a financial product requiring an Australian Financial Services licence 👉 https://lnkd.in/gx49Ekp2 #Regulatory #Finance #DigitalAssets

#Australia's financial services regulatory and compliance landscape is changing rapidly - our weekly Regulatory Roundup ensures you are up to date with the most important changes. In each edition, we set out key developments from the past week. In this most recent edition: 👉 FAR rules: ASIC and APRA have issued the final rules and information for the Financial Accountability Regime! 👉 Whistleblower rewards: Dr Andrew Leigh, Labor frontbencher and assistant treasury minister, has spoken positively about calls to create financial rewards for corporate whistleblowers. 👉 APRA updates Prudential Standard SPS 515 (Strategic Planning and Member Outcomes): SPS 515 and related guidance relate to the duties of superannuation trustees. 👉 ASIC is successful in its first design and distribution (DDO) case against Firstmac Limited: The Federal Court found that Firstmac Limited (Firstmac), a large non-bank lender, breached the new design and distribution (DDO) provisions by failing to take reasonable steps that would have resulted in, or would have been reasonably likely to have resulted in, the distribution of one of its investment products being consistent with its target market determination for the product. 👉 International perspective: the rise of financial influencers, or ‘finfluencers’, has been a headache for global regulators. They are increasingly warning of the risks in media, and enforcement actions - the FCA announced this week that court dates have been set for 9 finfluencers charged by the FCA with unauthorised FX trading schemes.
