July 2019

On 23 July 2019, APRA released for consultation a discussion paper on the creation of a new prudential standard aimed at clarifying and strengthening remuneration requirements for all APRA-regulated entities.

Draft Prudential Standard CPS 511 Remuneration introduces heightened requirements on entities’ remuneration arrangements in response to evidence that existing arrangements have been a factor driving poor consumer outcomes. The proposed framework addresses recommendations 5.1 to 5.3 from the Final Report of the Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry, which were endorsed by the Government in February. 

Written submissions are requested by 23 October 2019. 

The discussion paper and draft prudential standard can be found below:

Note on submissions

It is APRA's policy to publish all submissions on the APRA website unless the respondent specifically tells APRA in writing that all or part of the submission is to remain confidential. An automatically generated confidentiality statement in an email does not satisfy this purpose. If you would like only part of your submission to be confidential, you should provide this information marked as 'confidential' in a separate attachment.
