WEBINAR Reducing Complexity: Why? Where? How?

Thursday 10 February 2022 at 5pm AEDT

This interactive webinar will provide an opportunity to delve deeper into the key topics covered in the Financial Services Legislation Inquiry: Interim Report A.

Learn how your feedback can shape future reform developments, and ask questions of the ALRC panel as they examine ‘why, where and how’ complexity can be reduced.

As part of the ALRC’s consultation process, feedback is invited on 16 proposals and 8 questions contained in Interim Report A. Submissions are due by Friday 25 February 2022.

ALRC Panel:

• Dr Andrew Godwin, Team Leader and Special Counsel
• Christopher Ash, Senior Legal Officer
• Dr William Isdale, Senior Legal Officer
• Nicholas Simoes da Silva, Senior Legal Officer
• Phoebe Tapley, Senior Legal Officer

The laws regulating corporations and financial services are uniquely and unnecessarily complex. Interim Report A includes innovative research into the extent and nature of complexity in legislation, using empirical data and computational analysis to demonstrate the ballooning volume of law and its increasing complexity.

The Inquiry is part of the Government’s response to the Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry released in February 2019. Further interim reports are due in September 2022 and August 2023, with the final report due by 25 November 2023.
