The Digital Finance Advisory Panel (DFAP) was established in 2015 to help inform ASIC鈥檚 fintech and regtech approach and to maintain engagement with the sector. Members of DFAP are drawn from a cross-section of the fintech, insurtech, DLT and regtech communities, as well as academia and industry associations.
The DFAP also includes active observers from government and regulatory agencies to help facilitate dialogue between industry and the public sector.
The establishment of the DFAP has fostered a network of domestic departments and agencies dealing with innovative businesses, promoting a coordinated approach to financial innovation and regtech. The DFAP thus helps inform the focus of ASIC鈥檚 engagement with the fintech and regtech sectors.
