Media Statement on APRA
14 August 2024

Statement attributed to Cbus Super CEO Kristian Fok:

Cbus Super has today supported APRA’s announcement that the fund undertakes an independent review of our board governance and expenditure arrangements to ensure that they remain appropriate and in the best financial interests of our members.

This independent review will build on work that Cbus has previously commenced.

Cbus continues to work constructively with the regulator and will fully cooperate with the independent reviewer.

Cbus is committed to continuously improving our governance practices, policies, and procedures.

Our team of over 740 staff remain focussed on our mission to protect and grow our members’ retirement savings.

We note the allegations of criminal activity in the building and construction sector, and we condemn such activity. We support efforts by governments, regulators, and union organisations to eradicate such criminal behaviour.
