Published

A speech by Greg Medcraft, Chairman, Australian Securities and Investments Commission, The Regulators Panel, FINSIA (Sydney, Australia), 5 November 2015

Introduction

Good morning all. It’s a pleasure to be here today. Today I am going to talk about the impact of new technologies, digital disruption and cyber resilience.

  • how ASIC is responding, in particular:
    • ASIC’s innovation hub, and
    • our robo-advice taskforce.
