The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and the Clean Energy Regulator (CER) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two agencies to deliver their regulatory responsibilities under the carbon pricing mechanism.

 

Ms Chloe Munro, Chair of the Clean Energy Regulator, and Mr Greg Medcraft, Chairman of ASIC, welcomed the signing as a demonstration of their commitment to a whole of government approach to protect and promote confidence in the integrity of the legislative schemes each agency administers.



“Close collaboration between ASIC and the Clean Energy Regulator will send a strong signal to liable entities, financial market participants, and the public that we’re working together to optimise compliance with the carbon pricing mechanism,” said Chloe Munro.



“We have established the framework for a working relationship that will benefit both agencies to pursue common interests and administer our respective legislation. We welcome the opportunity to combine resources to provide the Australian community with co-ordinated and consistent information on how the carbon pricing mechanism works,” said Greg Medcraft.
