<p><p>ASIC
is
taking
an
approach
which
puts
them
in
the
spotlight
as
a
tough
regulator.
On
balance
they
appear
to
be
losing
more
court
cases
than
they
are
winning
at
the
moment.</p>
<p>So,
for
a
self-identified
and
self-reported
disclosure
issue,
Morningstar,
much
like
a
few
of
the
other
ones
recently,
gets
dragged
through
the
mud
and
ASIC
gets
a
headline.</p>
<p>The
regulators
talk
and
talk
about
Risk
Culture
and
fostering
an
environment
of
openness
yet
ASIC
seems
to
be
taking
an
approach
which
is
contrary
to
all
this.
How
many
entities
are
now
trying
to
find
ways
of
not
reporting
given
they
know
ASIC
appears
to
have
no
tolerance
for
one-off
minor
breaches,
which
this
appears
to
be?</p></p><p><a href="">Reply to article</a></p><p>For original story, <a href="">Click Here.</a></p>
