Measured compliance approach

We recognise that the 2024 Rules are a significant overhaul compared to the prior ASIC reporting rules requirements, including that ISO 20022 is specified as the technical standard for reporting. Since making the 2024 Rules in December 2022 there have been ongoing international developments and dependencies for consideration ahead of settling ASIC guidance, published in September 2024. Also, we are aware that other jurisdictions will be going live with revised reporting requirements on or around the same time as ASIC. Therefore, we will take a measured approach to compliance until 1 March 2025 for reporting entities that make reasonable efforts to comply with the 2024 Rules.

If ASIC identifies deliberate or systemic breaches, or a failure to make all reasonable endeavours to come into compliance, we will take regulatory action.
