ASIC reports on ASX

It’s unusual for one regulator to report on another regulator.

But in the case of the ASX, ASIC must do so annually because ASX holds an ASIC financial markets licence.

ASIC’s June 2005 ASX assessment report concludes that :

"the ASX has adequate arrangements for supervising the market, including
arrangements for:

  • handling
    conflicts between its commercial interests and the obligation to
    operate the market in a fair, orderly and transparent way
  • monitoring the conduct of participants, and
  • enforcing compliance with its rules.

The ASX has taken a number of positive steps since the release of ASIC’s last report in September 2004, including:

  • the
    establishment of arrangements for supervisory and compliance personnel
    to elevate issues of concern to the Audit and Risk Committee of the ASX
    Board; and
  • the establishment of an internal compliance function."
