There are three core components of the new IAF that impact regulated
financial service providers, the new Senior Executive Accountability
Regime (SEAR), the Conduct Standards, and the enhanced Fitness and
Probity (F&P) Regime. The IAF also introduces a number of enhancements

users of financial services and the ongoing stability and integrity of the
