About the event:

The regulatory and operating environment for superannuation funds is undergoing a structural shift. With CPS 230 mandating operational resilience, the Payday Super regime commencing July 2026, and ASIC sharpening its enforcement lens on member servicing, funds must recalibrate their operating models. At the same time, scale efficiencies, AI-driven automation, and member-centric innovation are redefining service delivery. This two-day forum provides a technical deep dive into the frameworks, systems, and governance models required to ensure regulatory compliance while positioning for operational and member service excellence.

Why Attend?
  • CPS 230 Readiness: Benchmark resilience and service provider governance frameworks, understand evolving cyber and continuity expectations, and examine board and executive accountabilities.
  • Payday Super Implementation: Assess system upgrades, SuperStream/NPP integration, real-time contribution processing, and reconciliation architecture in preparation for July 2026.
  • Data & AI Governance: Address privacy-preserving analytics, data lineage across hybrid system environments, and governance frameworks enabling safe automation adoption.
  • Operational Efficiency in Scale: Analyse cost drivers, performance benchmarking, and integration challenges from recent mega-fund mergers.
  • Member Outcomes Alignment: Explore regulatory expectations on servicing, digital advice, and fair treatment—linking operational design directly to measurable member outcomes.
Benefits of Attending?
  • Technical Insights: Access detailed case studies on CPS 230 execution, outsourcing/insourcing
    trade-offs, and AI deployment across operational workflows.
  • Risk-Adjusted Strategies: Gain clarity on how compliance, operational risk management, and service delivery interlock under heightened regulatory scrutiny.
  • Implementation Guidance: Walk away with tested methodologies for systems integration, cyber resilience, and operational scalability.
  • Peer Exchange: Engage with leaders who are driving operational transformation at scale across Australia’s largest superannuation entities.
