About this whitepaper

Australia’s capital markets are at a decisive inflection point as real-time settlement, cyber risk and ESG regulation converge. Compressed T+1 settlement cycles mean 24-hour-old registry data is no longer acceptable for boards that need to act in the market with confidence. At the same time, mandatory ESG reporting, the Cyber Security Act and new digital-communications rules are raising the compliance bar and forcing companies to prove the integrity of their shareholder records. Against this backdrop, investors demand transparency while regulators continue to accelerate their oversight.
