ASIC received 767 Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) between 2015 and 2024. Reports showed a sharp increase from 4 in 2015 to 139 in 2023, with a slight decline to 117 in 2024 year-to-date. The data demonstrates a sustained upward trend in SAR submissions over the decade, with annual figures rising from the mid-30s in 2016 to triple digits by 2021 onwards. This reflects growing reporting of suspected financial misconduct, money laundering, or other compliance concerns across regulated entities falling under ASIC's surveillance. No specific misconduct details, enforcement outcomes, or regulatory actions are disclosed in this statistical summary.
