The Australian Securities & Investments Commission is investigating allegations that ANZ traders manipulated a $14 billion placement of federal government securities in April 2023. ANZ only informed investors in May that it was facing an investigation by ASIC, but documents obtained under a Freedom of Information request show that the Australian Office of Financial Management shared over 20 documents concerning the ANZ with ASIC between Jaunary and May; one of the documents reveals that ASIC demanded information about past risk manager reports on 29 January.
