Note on Prudential standards

The Prudential Standards listed on apra.gov.au does not replace the Federal Register of Legislation, which contains the authorised versions of all prudential standards (and other legislative instruments made by APRA). Instead, it offers a way to search for and within standards and guidance. It also shows how the standards fit within the framework.
