APRA and ASIC have released a letter about the Financial Accountability Regime (FAR) authorised deposit-taking institutions (ADIs) commencement and implementation issues. Background.
As the Minister Rules have still not been finalised, APRA and ASIC recognise that industry may require additional time, beyond the commencement date of 15 March 2024, to finalise compliance with the new FAR requirements in relation to submitting applications for registration of new accountable persons; and complying with core or enhanced notification obligations.
The other FAR obligations will still commence on 15 March 2024.
APRA and ASIC expect entities to submit their registration applications and to make relevant notifications to them as promptly as possible, and by no later than 30 June 2024.
Following release of the Minister Rules, APRA and ASIC will release the Regulator Rules, Transitional Rules and reporting form instructions.
