The basic requirement is to write a considered and researched essay on the following topic:


The final report into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannua/on and Financial Services Industry was tabled in Parliament on 4 February 2019. The Honorable Kenneth Hayne has completed this Royal Commission aXer more than 10,000 submissions and mul/ple witnesses who were subject to indepth ques/oning and analysis.


There are many elements to the report into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannua/on and Financial Services Industry, however it is noted that the Australian Banking Associa/on recently released their updated Banking Code of Prac/ce (effec/ve 1 July 2019). The guiding principles of this Code are trust and confidence, integrity, service, transparency and accountability.


The Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants – APES 110 (effec/ve 1 January 2020) is the standard under which we will be conduc/ng our services as current and future accountants.


Ques/on: Compare the two Codes in terms of similari/es and differences. Why was there a need to have these Codes created? Do you expect either (or both) of these Codes to be effec/ve in their fundamental objec/ves? Explain and jus/fy your perspec/ve.

Compare the two Codes in terms of similarities and differences. Why was there a need to have these Codes created? Do you expect either (or both) of these Codes to be effective in their funda
mental objectives? Explain and justify your perspective.
Similarities and difference
Code presents new solutions to protect customers' interests, raise accountability and transparency, and increase confidence and trust in the banks. Australian Banking Association ("ABA") with retail presence in Australia, all member banks must sign up for codes according to their ABA membership status. This mandatory need is contrary to 2013 version where the dependencies were completely voluntary. The banks accepted the code is listed on ABA website. The code that has been accepted or accepted by each bank should fulfil with its needs by 1 July 2019 (Akers & Giacomino, 2011).
AEPSB has launched a project to improve the APES 110 to include the IESBA Restored Code correction. APES is expecting to release an exposure draft of APES 110 (excluding inspiration), restored in the beginning of 2018. Comment period will be closed on 31st July 2018. Provision for the provision of restored fuel is planned from the middle of 2018 to late. IESBA rearranged temptation provisions). At this point, the APESB plans to release the fully restructured APES 110 (with inspiration) by the end of 2018 or beginning of 2019 on the effective date of 1 January 2020. Code Members apply to customers, current and prospective, who are individuals, small scale and guarantor. In 2013 version the code has been created and enforced by the existing protection. Importantly, the Code increases the reach or effect of the legal protection for customers as well as small businesses.
The protection provided by code is required to include the member bank with a contract with their consumers (Brouard, Bujaki, Durocher & Neilson, 2016). The Code will also be followed by independent organization - Banking Code Compliance Committee ("BCCC"). Code BCCCC can complain about the non-compliance with code. 2019 thinks of the Code that the borrower may give short notice period or not at the time of any notice:
1. According to a reasonable opinion of the loan, it is necessary to work immediately to manage risks;
2. Customer is insolvent or goes into bankruptcy, administration or another insolvency process, or another action is taken against the customer through loan of another loan;
3. The borrower believes that on reasonable grounds, small business or guarantor does not comply with the law or there is no need for legal authority;
4. Already notification has been given to resolve the non-monetary default of loan amount.
Further, if a small business provides overdraft or on-demand facility due to debt, there is no need to give any notice unless the repayment is necessary (Espinosa-Pike & Barrainkua-Aroztegi, 2014).
The 2019 Code also reduces the scope of non-monetary default to the restriction on "general content adverse change" as a default event for any common type of small-scale corporate debt agreement.
This article considers the need for 30-day notice to be the first exception, in which it is a reasonable opinion that a borrower needs to work to manage an immediate risk.
Replaced APES 110 is mostly compatible with IESBA code. The difference is largely due to the aberration of Australian legal or regulatory requirements. The main differences are: • It is necessary to set in bold fonts, consistent with other standard APIs; • Non-compliance summaries of words and rules are NOCLAR rather than 'compliance' word used in IESBA Restored Code; • Australian needs (as outlined above) except for the provision for the replacement of the existing auditors, as addressed in the IESBA reconstruction code; And • The code guide has been updated to include a part of the APESB announcement (Montmartin, 2010). If the borrower has to face situations where he needs to take immediate action for the implementation of his security, then he will have to make a "reasonable opinion" of the loan. The Code of 2019 does not guide the "reasonable opinion". To make a reasonable opinion, borrowers should show that they have followed a process that includes internal inspection. Whether it is a policy documentary or a guideline, it is wise to document it. It is necessary to ensure the internal monitoring process, without requiring a 30-day notice to manage the risk for the security of the loan, reasonable decision of the loan, any decision is necessary (Sobhani, Abdollahi, Bagherian & Khatami, 2019). It may include a provision with an additional internal maintenance for the following example: In the reasonable opinion of the loan, if the borrower is required to manage the risk for immediate risk, then at least two bank officials, ideally 2019 Code, will decide whether the borrower can behave ethically and manage the potential conflict Ensure the need to make a decision.
The Australian Banking Association has issued a Banking Code of Practice (BCP) that sets standards for the employees of a bank. Banks following BCP follow the code under all circumstances. In any case, if the bank is forced to comply with the code and the law, then the bank will follow the code without violating the law (Sonnerfeldt & Loft, 2018). The code that is being monitored should take care of two...
