Too big to fix? CBA fails its own reporting

01 September 2017 4:35PM
Sky News Business claim to have obtained a confidential review from February of CBA's institutional banking and markets division which appears to report non-existent or minimal transaction oversight to senior bank executives. The conclusions are reported in The Australian, indicating that "product financial crime risk assessments" across the group "have not been updated since 2013". The Institutional Banking and Markets division manages global corporate, government and institutional clients. The confidential report shows that risk assessors at CBA's IB&M arm engaged auditors KPMG as far back as early 2014 to "conduct a full gap analysis of its transaction monitoring model" to bring the bank up to industry standard. According to the CBA's own confidential review it "highlighted weaknesses in current state" which were yet to be rectified by this year.  The Australian further reports that CBA is already in talks with financial regulators around the globe, including in the US and Hong Kong, and the prospect of the CBA's institutional banking arm being non-compliant with transaction monitoring laws in America, Europe and Asia could threaten billions in business for the bank.
