The team
The Enforcement & Compliance Group (ECG) is one of ASIC's largest and most influential business groups.

Their work spans sectors including scams, credit, banking and investment management, with a focus on triaging matters for referral to full investigation or resolving issues through compliance or regulatory action.
* Investigations (IEA) - IEA manages complex investigations into suspected breaches of financial services and corporations' law. These teams analyse data, intelligence and evidentiary material, conduct compulsory examinations and interviews, prepare briefs for administrative, civil or criminal action, and support proceedings in State and Federal courts. Their work is strategic, detailed and central to ASIC's enforcement capability, delivering outcomes with real impact across Australia's financial system.
