Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993

PART 12 - DUTIES OF TRUSTEES AND INVESTMENT MANAGERS OF SUPERANNUATION ENTITIES  

SECTION 106   DUTY TO NOTIFY THE REGULATOR OF SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE EVENTS  

106(1)    


If a trustee of a superannuation entity becomes aware of the occurrence of an event having a significant adverse effect on the financial position of the entity, the trustee must ensure that a trustee of the entity immediately notifies the Regulator in writing of the event.
Note:

Section 166 imposes an administrative penalty for a contravention of subsection (1) in relation to a self managed superannuation fund.


106(2)    


An event has a significant adverse effect on the financial position of an entity if, as a result of the event, a trustee of the entity will not, or may not, be able, at a time before the next annual report by the trustee, or the trustees, to beneficiaries entitled to the report, to make payments to beneficiaries as and when the obligation to make those payments arises.

106(3)    
Subsection (1) is a civil penalty provision as defined by section 193 , and Part 21 therefore provides for civil and criminal consequences of contravening, or of being involved in a contravention of, that subsection.
