Reforms drive need for e-commerce committee: ASFA
The Association for Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA) has reappointed Graham Sammells to the position of chair of the Electronic-Commerce Policy Sub-Committee.
ASFA chief executive Pauline Vamos said the role of the e-commerce sub-committee was hugely important as the association prepares for the Federal Government’s Stronger Super reforms.
The sub-committee is charged with establishing and promoting the viability of e-commerce for Australia’s $1 trillion superannuation industry. Its key focus is to develop policy positions that ensure the superannuation industry is operationally more efficient and easy to do business with.
Sammells, who is also chief executive of The IQ Business Group, said it was a very significant time to be involved in the industry and he was pleased to be reappointed for his second consecutive year.
“The Sub-Committee made great headway last year and I believe that with the recent legislative changes and re-shaped attitudes towards superannuation from all parties, it really is the time for e-commerce to deliver on benefits for the wider market,” he said.
