A presentation by Belinda Gibson, Commissioner, ASIC to The Law Society of Western Australia, Law Summer School Friday, 26 February 2010
I will approach this session's topic "Working in a Regulated Environment" by providing some insights into the scope for ASIC to influence behaviour in the marketplace within the current regulatory framework.
How does ASIC approach its task as a regulator of the markets? I will do this with reference to two particular objectives for ASIC this year:
-
improving protection for the retail investor; and
-
assuming responsibility for market supervision later this year.
