Securities Commission Malaysia’s Post

It feels like a lifetime ago that I joined APRA, bright-eyed and ready to overhaul rem regulation in the wake of the post-Royal Commission saga. Today, five years later at Aon, it feels full-circle to announce that my Governance Co-Lead Tameela Bandara and I are bringing to market Aon’s CPS 511 Post-Implementation Study, which aims to shed light on market practice, implementation challenges and learnings from across the financial services sector.

APRA has just released the Digital Prudential Handbook. The best part is that the statements in each of the standards now have URIs allowing for better integration with the knowledge graphs and business glossaries. #datagovernance #businessglossary

The FMA has released its first insights report into supervision activities and monitoring of the Financial Advice Provider (FAP) sector. The report highlights that FAPs and financial advisers have generally made good progress in transitioning to the new requirements. The FMA commented that they have seen FAPs using the new requirements to further serve the needs of their clients and build stronger and more resilient businesses. But the FMA also emphasised the need to avoid a 'tick the box' approach to compliance. They identified gaps that, if they remain unchecked, could escalate into poor outcomes for clients. Everyone can learn from these insights. FAPs and financial advisers should assess and improve their operations to align with the overarching objective to serve the needs of clients and invest the effort and time to ensure their arrangements are fit to achieve this.

The submission for the UK’s updated leverage ratio framework reporting (entry point LRV002) is swiftly approaching, with a reporting period ending on 30th June 2024 and a submission deadline of 9th of August 2024, making the latter date the most important. Updated regulations mandate submission of four new templates every six months, focusing on aspects like collateral swaps and repurchase agreements. Compliance requires validating submissions against nearly 50 regulator-defined rules and submitting data in XBRL format. Introduction of requirements by BoE aims to assess exposure to excessive leverage and mitigate contingent leverage risks. Risks arise when institutions can't rely on capital efficiency of certain funding methods, potentially reducing leverage ratios during stress scenarios.

SEBI has recently updated the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
