Barclays Falls Foul of Australian Regulator
Australia Securities & Investment Commission has accepted enforceable undertakings from Barclays entities. An enforceable undertaking is an alternative to prosecution and allows the offender to undertake tasks to settle the case. They had failed to disclose to clients that they are exempt from holding an Australian Financial Services Licence and was regulated by a relevant overseas regulatory authority which differ from Australian laws.
Barclays will therefore contribute $500,000 to The Ethics Centre for research and development into provision of financial services to Australian clients as their undertakings.
