21 Feb 2025 AustralianSuper (Trustee des Pensionsfonds AustralianSuper)AustralianSuper: AUD 27m penalty for failing to merge duplicate member accounts AustraliaOrganisational requirements €16.5m

From July 2013 to March 2023 the trustee of Australia’s largest superannuation fund did not merge the duplicate accounts of around 90,700 members, although s 108A of the SIS Act requires this; members lost around AUD 69 million through duplicate fees, insurance premiums and lost earnings. The Court found a breach of fundamental trustee obligations and imposed AUD 27 million; all affected members have been remediated.

What organisations can take from it

Known compliance gaps must be escalated and remedied with sufficient resources; lack of staff is no excuse.
