Boardroom Brief: Week commencing 27 November 2023

This is a service specifically targeted at the needs of busy non-executive directors (NEDs). We aim to give you a ‘heads up’ on the things that matter for NEDs in the week ahead - all in two minutes or less. In this edition, we discuss the announcement of proposed reforms to strengthen and modernise the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and the 2024 enforcement priorities announced by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). We also examine the public consultation by the Commonwealth Treasury on merger rules reform and the application received by the Takeovers Panel from Mighty Kingdom Limited (ASX: MKL) (Mighty Kingdom) in relation to its affairs. In Over the Horizon, we discuss the Federal Government’s release of the 2023-2030 Australian Cyber Security Strategy and what that means for Australia’s cyber profile in the coming years.
