#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: 👉 ASIC senate inquiry: The Senate inquiry into ASIC has found it “comprehensively failed to fulfil its regulatory remit” because its scope was too broad and complex. 👉 ASIC approves the enhanced Banking Code of Practice 👉 Unfair contracts terms: The Federal Court found that a term in PayPal's standard contracts was unfair because its effect was to allow PayPal to retain fees that it had incorrectly charged if the small business failed to notify PayPal of the error within 60 days of the fee appearing on its account statement. 👉 Equities markets: In a Statement issued by Joe Longo, the ASIC Chair has affirmed that supervising Australia's equities markets, and ensuring that they are ‘clean’ e.g. ‘fair, orderly and transparent' is one of ASIC’s most important functions. 👉 International perspective: It is a big year for Western democracies with major elections, and the potential policies Governments bring to the regulatory settings for digital assets.

Simple Agreements for Future Equity (SAFE) are the complicated darling of the early-stage capital raising community, including as they often do not require a financial services licence in Australia. SAFE’s younger sibling, Simple Agreements for Future Tokens, are a natural evolution – but they are even more complicated when it comes to the regulatory licensing position and users should approach structuring them with real caution.

Cointelegraph looks at celebrity crypto tokens, and whether they will catch the eye of the regulator. Commenting in the magazine, Liam Hennessy says that the SEC has claimed “nearly all crypto tokens are securities,” and if it lumps these celebrity tokens under its remit, “the issuer would need to be registered with the SEC.” He adds: "If not, there are appreciable penalties and fines for unlicensed activity. The celebrity may not be the token issuer, which arguably takes them away from what will be the SEC’s first area of concern.” Read the full story 👉 https://lnkd.in/gYqnYpA7 #Crypto #Licensing #Regulatory #Risk #Compliance #Cryptocurrency #Token #Securities

Insurance News magazine looks at the Senate inquiry concluding that the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has “comprehensively” failed to go after corporate misconduct and enforce financial services laws. Avryl Lattin comments on the recommendation that the government should strongly consider separating its functions between a companies regulator and a separate financial conduct authority. Avryl says that breaking up ASIC’s functions would mean more compliance work for insurers: “Insurers are already subject to prudential regulation by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority and financial services regulation by ASIC, and also may have to deal with law enforcement on certain matters. If ASIC were to be split up into a companies regulator and separate financial conduct authority, this will no doubt further increase the regulatory burden on insurers.” Read the full story 👉 https://lnkd.in/gz4jqz2y #Insurance #Risk #Regulatory #Compliance #Investigations #Insurers #Enforcement
