    Hi Corona

    You are correct. That list would scare me if I were a crooked company director.

    And things will allow ASIC to get tougher if a new bill passes the House of Representatives:

    Notable features of the Bill include:

    • maximum prison penalties for the most serious offences will increase to 15 years. These include breaches of director’s duties, false or misleading disclosure and dishonest conduct;
    • civil penalties for companies will significantly increase, now to be capped at $525 million;
    • maximum civil penalties for individuals will increase to $1.05 million and can also take in to account profits made;
    • civil penalties will apply to a greater range of misconduct, including licensee’s failure to act efficiently, honestly and fairly, failure to report breaches and defective disclosure.
    If I was being investigated, and my assets included diamonds, I would hide them where the sun don't shine.
