A global guide to individual accountability compliance

Since the global financial crisis, there has been an ever-increasing focus globally on holding those in senior positions within regulated financial institutions accountable for their actions. This phenomenon has forced firms to adapt and prepare their practice for the implementation of new and more scrupulous obligations. 

Our Individual accountability hub has been created on the NRF Institute to provide a comprehensive understanding of the new expectations for anyone preparing for, and needing to comply with, individual accountability obligations across the globe.

Also available via the hub is our SMCR Toolkit, a subscription-only, cost-effective service providing access to all of the key documents that firms need to implement the regime within their business.

Security of Payment Act trumps deemed service provisions

In Roberts Co (NSW) Pty Ltd v Sharvain Facades Pty Ltd (Administrators Appointed) [2025] NSWCA 161, the NSW Court of Appeal has found that, for the purposes of the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 (NSW) (SoP Act), a deeming clause providing that a notice given after 5pm is to be treated as having been given and received at 9am on the next business day, does not extend the statutory time period for service of a payment schedule.
