Former ASIC & Treasury Regulators

ASX Market Participant Regulatory Support

Recent ASIC Inquiry findings have intensified participant oversight. Work with former regulators who know the compliance frameworks and expectations.

Why the landscape has shifted

The December 2025 ASIC Inquiry interim report identified systemic governance failures, defensive culture, and compromised infrastructure obligations. The final report lands March 31, 2026.

  • Heightened enforcement and intensified participant oversight
  • ASIC reform timelines driving tougher expectations
  • Multiple licensed markets shifting rule frameworks
  • Infrastructure failures requiring tighter vigilance
