ASIC review highlights need for stronger scrutiny of super fund valuations
Why this matters
REP 841 reports findings from ASIC's surveillance of 42 RSE financial reports and six audits, focusing on valuation of unlisted investments, trustee oversight of external fund managers, and auditor scrutiny. It flags reporting and disclosure gaps in fair value hierarchy disclosures and trustee governance responsibilities that cannot be outsourced. Urgency is medium because it sets forward-dated surveillance commitments (2026-27) and expectations that trustees and auditors must address concerns, without a formal rule or compliance deadline.
