SUMMARY:BCCM and APRA Regulation College - Roundtable 2
DESCRIPTION:Invitation only – separate RSVP essential \nThe BCCM Regulation Roundtable was established in 2024 by the BCCM in response to members’ concern about the growing impact of regulation on their businesses\, and on productivity and efficiency and\, ultimately\, the ability to serve and benefit members. The Regulation College is an initiative of the BCCM and APRA to build a constructive dialogue based on understanding the practical implications of operationalising regulation. A cross-sector lens will provide an opportunity for regulators to see patterns of regulatory impact across a range of business sectors. This invitation-only roundtable is for CEOs and CROs to hear from the regulator and from industry case studies as well as suppliers. \nIn 2025 there are three roundtables scheduled. At this roundtable\, the spotlight is on the Financial Accountability Regime (FAR).  This and planned further roundtables will help build a cross-sector mutual industry position for engaging government in a dialogue about how to better design regulation to benefit consumers and business competition.
