AIST LICENSING, COMPLIANCE AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
PROGRAMS
APRA and ASIC require Registrable Superannuation Entity (RSE)
licence, and Australian Financial Services licence (AFSL) holders
to have a significant compliance and education program in place to
ensure ongoing compliance with all aspects of their licence
responsibilities. To maintain the licences, funds are required to
demonstrate that they have appropriate measures in place.
AIST has established a cost and time effective licensing
compliance and professional development program for RSE licence and
AFSL holders. These programs assist funds with maintaining all
aspects of their ongoing obligations to APRA and ASIC.
AIST assists many licensees through the provision of our
compliance and professional development services. Each year we work
with many superannuation funds to ensure they are meeting their
obligations to members and working within the legislative
framework.
Our programs have been refined over the years to meet the
ongoing needs of licensees and staff and the changing regulatory
environment.
AIST is a registered training organisation and our learning and
professional development team has highly skilled, qualified
trainers with extensive experience.

AIST & IFS Legal Fit & Proper Policy Review
AIST in conjunction with IFS Legal can review your Fit &
Proper Policy documentation to provide valuable feedback to ensure
it reflects the highest standard of governance practices of
Directors.
This review is jointly undertaken by key specialist staff from
AIST and IFS Legal and funds will benefit from the insights of both
the key industry body and an industry legal firm. Both
organisations have worked with an extensive number of
not-for-profit superannuation funds throughout Australia.
The outcomes of the review are as
follows:
- The Fund will be confident that its Fit & Proper Policy is
robust and meeting the needs of Directors and the Fund;
- The Fund can be sure that Directors are compliant with their
Fit & Proper Policy;
- Knowledge that the Fund is practising the highest standard of
governance in line with best practice.
The review consists of a three step
process:
- Review of Fit & Proper Policy
- Analysis
- Report and Presentation
The typical Review process can be completed and returned to a
fund within three weeks.
