ASIC today published its 2017–18 business plans.

Each year ASIC publishes business plans for each of the sectors it regulates. These are published by 31 October. This is part of ASIC's commitment to transparency and accountability.

The 11 business plans complement ASIC's Corporate Plan that is published by 31 August.

ASIC’s Corporate Plan is a four-year rolling plan which explains ASIC's vision, its view of ‘what good looks like’ for the sectors it regulates, the risks and challenges to achieving its vision and its strategy for achieving this vision.

We present the business plans on a sector-by-sector basis. In addition, this year we published three business plans addressing issues that cross sectors.

Publishing business plans provides ASIC’s stakeholders with information about its actions and its focus during the coming financial year.

The published sector business plans are:

• Market infrastructure;
• Market intermediaries;
• Corporations;
• Financial reporting and audit;
• Insolvency practitioners;
• Superannuation and managed funds;
• Deposit takers, credit and insurance; and
• Financial advice.

The three cross-sector project business plans are:

• Older Australians;
• Small business; and
• Illegal phoenixing activity.
