APRA (The Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority) released the reults of the first survey of its stake holders
Conducted by Australian Survey Research (ASR), the survey collected responses from two groups of stakeholders using a similar questionnaire: one of regulated institutions and a shorter one of industry representatives and other knowledgeable observers.
The overall survey results were, according to ASR, ‘… a strong endorsement of APRA’s prudential framework and approach to supervision. Regulated entities believe that APRA has had a positive impact on their industry.’
