August 10, 2020 – APRA to recommence public consultations on select policy reforms and begin a phased resumption of the issuing of new licenses, after being temporarily suspended in March and April respectively, due to COVID-19.
Policy reforms to be recommenced in 2020 are:
- the cross-industry prudential standard for remuneration;
- ADI capital reforms incorporating APRA’s unquestionably strong framework, Basel III and measures to improve transparency, comparability and flexibility;
- insurance capital reforms to incorporate changes in the accounting framework (AASB 17); and
- the prudential standard for insurance in superannuation, and updated guidance on the sole purpose test.
With consultation in limited data collections to restart, including the Superannuation Data Transformation project.
