The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) has released eight final prudential practice guides (PPGs) for the superannuation industry.

The PPGs cover defined benefit matters, contributions and payments, investment governance, valuations and remuneration.

Existing superannuation PPGs on adequacy of resources, contribution and benefit accrual standards and payment standards have been updated.

A final remaining PPG, Prudential Practice Guide SPG 310 Audit and Related Matters, will be released before the end of 2013.
