The amended ASIC market integrity rules, without the 23-page read.
On 17 March 2028 the Market Integrity Rules change how a participant controls its trading system, records a client instruction and proves both. This site states each amended duty in plain English, names the evidence an auditor asks for, and checks which rules apply to your firm. The kit is USD 799 once; the change watch is USD 49 a month.
Read from the real rules, not invented. Every answer this site gives points to the official rule behind it, so you can check any line yourself.

Check a dateFive changes that move work
The instrument has 109 Schedule 1 items. Most change definitions or cross-references. These five change what a participant does, records or tests.
| Change | What the instrument does | Where to read it |
|---|---|---|
| The AOP regime becomes a Trading System regime | Part 5.6 is renamed and rewritten around the Trading System and the Trading Algorithm. The old automated order processing definitions are repealed. | Rule 5.6.1 · Rule 5.6.3 |
| The DTR regime is repealed | Part 2.5 goes. The authorisation, competence and knowledge duties for the person who submits a message move into Rule 5.5.1. | Rule 5.5.1 |
| Monitoring and algorithm governance are new | Rule 5.6.3A requires real-time interference monitoring and post-trade surveillance. Rule 5.6.3B requires a life cycle procedure and testing before first use, client availability and material change. | Rule 5.6.3A · Rule 5.6.3B |
| The annual notification is repealed | The annual review remains, with a responsible officer statement within 20 business days. The notification to ASIC and the two-director certification are gone. | Rule 5.6.8A · Rule 5.6.6 |
| Records follow the instruction | Rule 4.1.1 and Rule 4.1.2 are rewritten around each processing stage, the representative and the Trading Message. The market operator reliance table is replaced. | Rule 4.1.1 · Rule 4.1.6 |
A one-minute scope reading
Two questions give a first answer. The full check adds the date, the systems, the algorithms and the record routes.
Rules that apply, with reasons
Each result names the rule, the party it binds and why your answers put it in scope. It also says whether the current or the amended text applies on the date you choose.
- 19 duty rules in the record
- 82 evidence items
- No request leaves the page
- No sign-in, no email required
A scope reading, not a legal opinion. Where an answer is uncertain, the check says "scope incomplete" and names what is missing.
The rules this is built from
The current participant rule set
The 2017 rules are held as 32 participant controls, each read against compilation No. 6. That record is the base the amendment changes.
Open the framework pageThe amendment, item by item
The 23-page instrument is read in full. Every duty page carries the Schedule 1 item numbers and the amended rule number.

| The instrument PDF | The authoritative text, 23 pages and 109 items, free from the Federal Register. | No owner columns, no evidence list, no reading order and no date plan. |
| ASIC guidance (RG 241, RG 265) | ASIC's expectations on electronic trading and participant obligations. | Not the instrument, not a register, and not a line by line change record for 2026/574. |
| A consultant or a law firm | A tailored opinion and help with implementation. | Usually weeks and a fee, and the work product stays with the adviser. |

The short answers
What is the ASIC Market Integrity Rules Checker?
It is a free reference and a paid working kit for Amendment Instrument 2026/574. It states each duty in plain English, names the party it binds, lists the evidence an auditor asks for and calculates the start date from the instrument.
When does Amendment Instrument 2026/574 commence?
Rule 2 sets commencement eighteen months from the registration date. The authorised version records registration on 17 September 2026, so it commences on 17 March 2028. Before that date the 2017 rules apply without these amendments.
Does a fund manager have a duty under these rules?
Only if it is a Market Participant or a Trading Participant. A fund manager that is neither is outside the duties in this record, but the executing participant it uses is bound, and the fund manager should obtain the participant evidence it relies on.
What does the kit contain?
The full obligation register (19 duties), the evidence list (82 items), the common gaps and an eight milestone dated plan, as PDF, CSV and XLSX. One payment of USD 799.
What does the change watch do?
It checks the instrument, its guidance and its dates every month and emails the account when the record changes. USD 49 a month, cancel any time.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is a reading of the published instrument, written in our own words and cited so you can check it. It does not certify, audit or replace legal advice.
