Reporting breaches

What is breach reporting?

Breach reporting plays a vital role in the regulation of Australia’s financial services marketplace. Breach reports allow ASIC to detect significant non-compliant behaviours early and take action where appropriate. It also allows ASIC to identify and address emerging trends of non-compliance in the industry.
