Sydney, 05 March, 2013 - Thomson Reuters, the world's leading source of

the inaugural Australian Regulatory Summit will take place in Sydney on 01 May,
2013 with participation of the principle Australian and New Zealand regulatory
bodies of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, AUSTRAC, The
Reserve Bank of Australia and the Financial Markets Authority of New Zealand.
The Australian Regulatory Summit will connect local and regional regulatory
bodies to key financial services providers via a series of panel discussions and

relating to market reform and regulation and the subsequent challenges and
issues that arise. Over 150 senior level executives will attend the summit from
a range of global financial regulatory bodies, exchanges, associations and
authorities in addition to senior management and key heads of compliance and
risk management from leading organizations within the financial services
industry.
The emphasis of the Summit is on educational content, giving senior
professionals the knowledge they need to act while still focusing on
opportunities for growth. Sessions will be delivered by leading industry
experts, with the ultimate directive of enhancing compliance, risk management
and corporate governance culture across the region. The Summit will address the
state of financial regulation in Australasia, including regulatory enforcement
and supervision issues, the impact of extraterritorial regulation, alternative
trading platforms, structural changes to superannuation, analytics in managing
risk and culture, behavior and conduct.
Other organizations and leading industry practitioners that have confirmed their
support for the event include Allen & Overy, Ernst & Young and Moody's.
"We are excited to facilitate this event in Sydney alongside some of Australia,
and the region's, leading industry bodies, regulators and market participants,"
said Leas Bachatene, managing director & VP Asia Pacific, Governance, Risk &
Compliance, Thomson Reuters. "With the on-going evolution of global regulation,
first with FATF, Basel II then III, Dodd Frank and now FATCA, organizations have
never been under more pressure. We hope that this event provides senior
professionals with the knowledge that they need to make informed decisions while
accelerating business growth."
"Since the global financial crisis in 2008, we have witnessed a major shift in
the demands of regulators right across the financial services sector," said
Andrew Price, Oceania Financial Services managing partner, Ernst & Young. "In
this environment, it is important to understand not just the specific detail of
individual regulations, but also the broader impact this continuing wave of
local and global reforms may have on the Australian financial services market
which is why we are pleased to support the inaugural Australian Regulatory
Summit."
"Regulatory developments continue to be at the top of the financial markets
agenda both in Australia and around the world," said Jason Denisenko, partner,
Allen & Overy. "With participants in the financial services industry now being
impacted by international regulation as well as Australian regulation, it is
difficult to keep up to speed with the changes. Allen & Overy is delighted to
be partnering with Thomson Reuters to help provide clarity and direction on the
major developments impacting the Australian market."
