WHO SHOULD READ THIS
- Senior Executives and Officers of Australian corporations.
THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW
- The Australian Law Reform Commission is conducting a review
into ways to strengthen laws to hold corporations and their
officers accountable for criminal misconduct.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
- Ensure you are complying with current laws and keep abreast of
the outcome of the review. You may wish to consider making or
contributing to submissions to the Australian Law Reform Commission
(ALRC).
The Federal Government has commissioned a review by the
ALRC to provide a “simpler, stronger and more cohesive
regime for corporate criminal responsibility”, in what many
consider to be a further reaction to issues raised by the Royal
Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and
Financial Services Industry.
