APRA wants to take down your PDC particulars
Rollover recalls that old and somewhat insulting maxim that those who can, do, while those who can’t, teach.
In this age of millennials and digital he believes that maxim might be amended to those who can, do, while those who can’t, collect data.
Which probably explains why the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority has actually established a whole COVID-19 data set – the Pandemic Data Collection – which if you work at APRA Central in Sydney’s Martin Place you would be calling the PDC.
And Rollover reckons that superannuation fund trustees and executives would be foolish to ignore the PDC, with APRA writing them a letter acknowledging that they are probably busy in these days or early release superannuation and dealing with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) but that they equally need to find time to contribute to the PDC.
What is more, APRA has signalled that the punishment will continue until morale improves, stating “the PDC will continue until issues that are being faced by registrable superannuation entity (RSE) licensees relating to the COVID-19 pandemic have abated”.
In financial services regulation as in politics, it is a numbers game.

The Rollover
Rollover is a jaded hack who joined the staff of Super Review nearly two decades’ ago and never managed to summon the energy to leave. Known throughout the superannuation industry as a power-luncher and gossip, Rollover spends his time humouring fund managers, eavesdropping at conferences, dozing through briefings and looking for his next free meal.

With rainy weather abound in Sydney, Rollover was sat in front of his TV watching the smorgasbord of niche documentaries free-to-air has to offer.
As a history buff, Rollover is well-aware of the importance of the role the vanguard plays in a military force, as the leader at the front of battle.
Now that crypto investing is mainstream, with Rest Super announcing it will put a portion of its funds into it, Rollover wonders whether his grandkids will think he is hip when he shows them his crypto balance in his new digital wallet.
Rollover is almost as fascinated by superannuation fund mergers as the deputy chair of the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA), Helen Rowell.
