APRA Imposes Licence Conditions and AUD $50 Million Capital Add-On on ING Australia for Liquidity Br

APRA has imposed license conditions, a higher minimum liquidity requirement, and an AUD $50 Million operational risk capital add-on on ING Bank Australia Limited after the bank disclosed multi-year miscalculations that overstated its Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR). Reported LCR was around 160 percent, but the true figure was substantially lower and at times fell below the 100 percent minimum under APS 210. The action shows that APRA treats inaccurate prudential reporting as a governance and risk management failure, not a technical error.

Spanish DPA Flags Data Protection Gaps in Health Sciences Student Patient Privacy Protocol

The Spanish Data Protection Agency's legal office (Gabinete Jurídico) reviewed a draft protocol governing student and resident access to patient information and identified three data protection concerns. These were the unclear legal basis for patient refusal of student presence, overly vague limits on clinical record access, and missing file-creation requirements for a student register. Although the report applies the now-superseded LOPD (Organic Law 15/1999), it shows how regulators assess health data access, consent, and governance, which remains relevant for organizations handling sensitive data.
