    MIS custody arrangements thematic review 2019

    For any managed investment scheme it’s important that scheme property – money and investments – is kept safe. The function of looking after scheme property is called custody. Under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (FMC Act), custody for retail managed investment schemes is the responsibility of the independent licensed supervisor. This separates custody functions from management of the scheme, and provides an additional layer of protection for investors.

    Audit Quality Monitoring Report 2019

    Under the Auditor Regulation Act 2011 (AR Act), we must carry out a quality review of the systems, policies and procedures of registered audit firms and licensed auditors at least once every four years. We are required to prepare a report each year on the reviews we completed in the preceding financial year. Our reviews help improve audit quality and ensure audit opinions are reliable. The reviews also help us to achieve our strategic goal of ensuring investors are able to make active choices based on clear, concise and effective information.
