Australia Forex Broker Firms
The regulatory body in charge of regulating the Australia financial services industry is the Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC). This regulatory body was established and operational in 1991 and impetus behind its creation was to replace the National Companies and Securities Commission (NCSC) and the Corporate Affairs Offices of the states and territories. ASIC is defined as an independent government body in Australia with the purpose of acting as Australia’s corporate regulator.
The establishment of the ASIC was primarily to enforce financial services laws and to regulate financial services institutions in Australia.
Since 2010, the scope of ASIC’s responsibilities extended to regulating finance broking, trustee companies and consumer credit companies. For all forex broker firms seeking an Australia broker license, the applications will be made to ASIC and on approval of the application form you will be issued a broker license from ASIC.
The complete scope of responsibility and regulatory authority of ASIC can be found in the Australian Securities and Investments Commission Act 2001. The remit of the ASIC includes; corporate governance, securities and derivatives, insurance, consumer protection and financial services, to name a few.
