(July-2003) New look for APRA board
John Laker has been appointed as chairman of the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA), while (Kerry) Ross Jones takes on the role of deputy chairman
At the time of going to press, the Government was also poised to recommend Stephen Somogyi be appointed as a member of APRA for a three-year term.
These are the first appointments made under the enhanced governance structure introduced in response to recommendations made by the HIH Royal Commissioner, Justice Neville Owen. Under this structure, a three person full-time executive group replaces the APRA board.
Laker was previously assistant governor (Financial System) of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and a board member of APRA.
Jones was a commissioner at the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission and an associate professor at the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS).
Somogyi has been the CEO of the CPI Group, a commissioner of the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Commission, chairman of the Monash Institute of Health Services Research, director of Collins Associates, Councillor of the Institute of Actuaries of Australia, director of the National Paper Council of Australia and director of Bridgewater Lakes Estate.
