###Dataset summary###

ASIC is Australia’s corporate, markets and financial services regulator. ASIC contributes to Australia’s economic reputation and wellbeing by ensuring that Australia's financial markets are fair and transparent, and supported by confident and informed investors and consumers.

The Banned and Disqualified Persons Dataset file on data.gov.au is extracted from ASIC's Banned and Disqualified Registers. This dataset is a point in time snapshot of the Banned and Disqualified Persons Register data.
The dataset provides information on persons that are:

* disqualified from involvement in the management of a corporation
* disqualified from auditing Self-Managed Superannuation Funds (SMSFs) and
* banned from practising in the Australian Financial Services (AFS) or credit industry.

It also provides information about persons that have been:

* banned from the AFS or credit industry and
* banned from the credit industry by a state or territory.

Information provided in this search is taken from the following registers:

* disqualified persons register
* credit banned/disqualified persons register
* AFS banned/disqualified persons register
* banned securities representatives register (pre-AFS licences)
* banned futures representatives register (pre-AFS licences).

Selected data from the registers will be uploaded each week to www.data.gov.au. The data made available will be a snapshot of the register at a point in time. Legislation prescribes the type of information ASIC is allowed to disclose to the public.

There may be multiple instances of identical or similar names in the dataset, with slight differences in address, place of birth, and other details. The data is recorded as it was reported to ASIC and we cannot confirm if these similar records are/are not the same person.
