“Actions to minimise regulation and compliance costs have been integrated into ASIC’s everyday work,” Mr Price said.
“We continue to look for better ways of working to minimise the regulatory burden and strongly encourage suggestions from the public for further cutting red tape.”
ASIC highlighted examples of red-tape reduction, including granting waivers from the law, allowing flexibility and innovation where appropriate; improving systems, for faster and easier public interactions; advocating for international recognition of laws; and suggesting changes to the law that will have a deregulatory benefit.
