What we do

ASIC is Australia's integrated corporate, markets, financial services and consumer credit regulator.

ASIC is an independent Australian Government body. We are set up under and administer the Australian Securities and Investments Commission Act 2001 (ASIC Act), and we carry out most of our work under the Corporations Act.

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and the Canadian Public Accountability Board (CPAB) have entered into a protocol to cooperate in the oversight of auditors.

Given the global nature of capital markets, CPAB and ASIC recognize the need for mutual cooperation in carrying out their respective auditor oversight responsibilities. The Protocol contains procedures for the conduct of inspections, the exchange of auditor workpapers and inspection reports and other forms of cooperation as required. The Protocol envisages that audit inspections may be carried out jointly, thereby reducing the impact on the firms concerned.
