Target state

What does good look like for ASIC?

Operationalisation and ongoing experimentation with new datasets, technologies and analytic techniques to enhance ASIC's supervisory and regulatory activities.

Collect newer, better data

  • Real-time monitoring
  • Integration with regulated entities’ systems
  • Machine readable regulation
  • Data sharing between government agencies
  • Natural language processing (NLP) for documents, audio, video and image data

Store, manage and protect data

  • Centralised, cloud-based big data storage and processing
  • Machine learning to detect faulty or incomplete data
  • Integration of related data
  • Robust information security
  • Mature data governance, privacy and ethics practices

Use data to enhance priority activities

  • Machine learning for risk scoring and categorisation
  • Early detection of fraud and emerging threats and harms
  • Enhanced auditing of market conduct
  • NLP to audit promotional material and prospectuses
  • Policy simulations

Use data to automate internal processes

  • Automated data processing (integrated datasets, workflows and dashboards)
