 The World Today - APRA imposes penalties on NAB
NAB will be forced to set aside millions more to cover its loans and trading risks.
But they will reduce the profit because for every loan that it makes, NAB is going to have to set aside far more capital to protect the interests of depositors.
The trouble was that under the pressure, the severe pressure to meet performance hurdles, the individual business units tended to take a rose coloured view and it says the culture that predominated at NAB was one in which risk controls were seen as "tripwires" to be negotiated, rather than presenting any genuine constraint on behaviour.

 Open Letter to the NAB
Thanks in large part to the lobbying activities of the NAB, commercial broadcasting has gone through stunning negative changes in recent years, as deregulation and consolidation have shifted the balance of power to a small handful of companies with interests and investments spread across the media landscape.
The NAB was also instrumental in securing the digital spectrum giveaway, which took advantage of new technology to give broadcasters free access to up to six new channels where they previously controlled only one-- a gift the FCC estimates was worth as much as $70 billion.
But the NAB has consistently opposed common sense campaign finance reform measures, in large part because much of the money raised for political campaigns is given to corporate media to buy campaign advertising.
