Additional FY2019–20 regtech initiatives

ASIC has developed additional regtech initiatives for FY2019–20 with the nature and scale of these initiatives designed in light of the evolving situation surrounding the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

The design of these initiatives have been informed by previous regtech projects undertaken during FY2018–19. ASIC’s upcoming initiatives include:

• Remote services and supervision webinar (14 July 2020)
  A free webinar discussion forum between industry, regulators and guests highlighting regtech’s potential to support the provision and supervision of financial services whilst many staff work remotely. The panel will include representatives from financial firms and professional service providers. If you missed the live event, you can watch the recording below or by following the links provided.

• Responsible lending demonstration webinar (20 August 2020)
  ASIC hosted a public problem-solving event with a curated synthetic data set in which selected regtech providers demonstrated how AI/ML can be used to support a firm’s compliance with responsible lending obligations. The regtech solutions were showcased at the public webinar followed by an industry panel discussion.
