In their new roles, Carmody would assume responsibility for the day-to-day supervision of regulated entities within the general, life and private health insurance industries, while Khoo would oversee a number of APRA’s specialist supervisory teams and drive APRA’s on-going investment in its data and analytical capabilities.
