QUOTES

"One of the biggest threats to you as a regulator is the lack of transparency and consequent loss of trust..." Johanna Morris

“I think a really good way to support transparency in a regulator is to mandate that all papers and proposals that are going to the board, which are prepared by the executive team, have a transparency requirement baked in”. - Johanna Morris

“Regulators really need to be agile, so agility is the real challenge for regulators, and that's married to the legislative context. “
Caroline Conroy
