A speech by Greg Medcraft, Chairman, Australian Securities and Investments Commission, WA Stakeholder Function (Perth, Australia), 23 August 2016
Introduction
Thank you, Natalie, and thank you everyone for being here tonight.
Like Natalie, I’d also like to extend a special welcome to:
- Dr Aly
- Mr Keogh
- Senator Back
- Senator Reynolds, and
- Mr Poynton.
As always, it’s great to be back in Perth and to catch up with everybody here.
Our 94 dedicated staff in Perth have been doing some heavy lifting when it comes to contributing to achieving ASIC’s vision, particularly ensuring that investors and consumers can continue to have trust and confidence in our markets.
So tonight, I want to focus on three things:
- ASIC’s vision
- the challenges to achieving our vision, and
- how we are responding to these challenges.
