Description

ASIC Corporate Investigations and Hearings is a highly practical service providing you with detailed coverage of the methods of investigation and enforcement used by ASIC when performing its regulatory functions under the ASIC Act, Corporations Act, consumer credit legislation and superannuation/retirement savings accounts legislation.

ASIC’s powers, including powers to conduct investigations, administrative hearings and court proceedings, are comprehensively analysed and examined. This is supplemented with practical guidelines, set out in a user-friendly question and answer format, commentary on recent case law and statutory developments and ASIC regulatory documents. The content is meticulously researched and clearly set out, designed to make this difficult area of regulation easier to understand and to assist you to understand your rights and obligations.

The core material is enhanced by a dedicated New Developments section which addresses pending legislation, recent case law and regulatory developments.

The Year in Review material encapsulates in one place the developments over the past 12 months in an easy to read and circulate format.

ASIC’s regulatory responsibilities are continuing to increase, covering Australian companies, financial markets, financial services organisations and professionals, superannuation, insurance, deposit taking and consumer credit. More organisations and their lawyers than ever will be subject to ASIC’s investigative and enforcement powers. This service is an essential tool to ensure that you are adopting the best strategies to obtain maximum protection and benefits.

The commentary is updated approximately 5 times per year to assist you to keep abreast of this rapidly changing and fast-moving area of law.
