: Australian Regulatory Compliance ReviewTreasury and ASIC to review regulation of credit rating agencies
Senator the Hon Nick Sherry, Minister for Superannuation and Corporate Law, has announced that he has asked the Treasury with the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC), to review the regulation of credit rating agencies (CRAs) and research houses in Australia.
Treasury and ASIC will seek input from the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) and other relevant agencies, together with stakeholders from the investor, shareholder and superannuation communities.
In addition to CRAs, the review will examine financial product research houses, in particular the role they played in the provision of advice to investors in several major recent corporate collapses, such as Westpoint.
The review will commence work immediately and report to the Government within six months.
