RG 166 AFS licensing: Financial requirements
Issued 7 September 2023
This guide sets out the financial requirements you must meet as the holder of an Australian financial services (AFS) licence. The requirements vary depending on the financial products and services you offer.
If you are a body regulated by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA), as defined in s3(2) of the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority Act 1998 (APRA Act), and are not required to comply with s912A(1)(d) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Corporations Act), this guide does not apply to you.
Note: From 1 July 2015, if you are the holder of a registrable superannuation entity (RSE) licence from APRA that is also authorised to operate registered managed investment schemes, you must comply with s912A(1)(d).
