Keeping you in charge of cash flow

    Workers’ Compensation is often the largest insurance spend for employers, with significant impacts on cash flow, as many policies have upfront payment expectations, or discounts available for early payment. Premium Funding can be utilised to conserve and manage cash flow, and the interest cost is usually tax deductible. Premium Funding agreements are generally not secured by business assets, which frees up working capital to allow you to get on with running your business, without tying up your existing facilities. Lockton can assist with organising competitive quotes for risk financing, as well as negotiations with insurers and regulators to put in place plans to reduce the burden on your business.

    APRA’s move to a three-tier banking structure: What are the implications?

    The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) is set to introduce a three-tier classification system to reshape the banking landscape. This framework will categorise banks into large banks (the majors), medium banks (other banks designated as Authorised Deposit-taking Institutions or ADIs, specifically those classified as Significant Financial Institutions SFIs), and small banks (non-SFIs). This nuanced approach signals a strategic shift towards more tailored regulatory oversight and risk management that better reflects the banking sector's diverse business models.
