Completing the Remedial Action Plan

  • In 2018, we set about improving governance, culture and accountability across the bank by implementing all of the recommendations in the Prudential Inquiry final report.

    Completing the RAP is a significant milestone but we recognise there is still much more for us to do.

    Our focus is to now demonstrate that the changes we’ve made are sustained and continuously improved. 

A roadmap for change

  • In May 2018, APRA’s Prudential Inquiry released a report outlining shortcomings in governance, culture and accountability at the Commonwealth Bank (CBA). The report was constructive and fair and we accepted all of the 35 recommendations. We have now addressed all recommendations in full.

    APRA endorsed CBA’s comprehensive Remedial Action Plan in June 2018. The plan outlined the actions we would take to improve risk management capability and deliver better outcomes for our customers.
