01 · The obligation

CPS 230, operational risk

CPS 230 is APRA's Prudential Standard on Operational Risk Management. It requires an APRA-regulated entity to manage its operational risk and to keep records that evidence operational-risk events and the controls around them.

When an agent carries out an operational process, the obligation does not move. The entity still has to be able to show what happened and how the control operated, after the event.

02 · The 30 April 2026 letter

APRA's AI letter to industry

On 30 April 2026, APRA issued its first published, AI-specific expectations for boards and accountable executives, drawn from a targeted supervisory review conducted in late 2025. It names four areas to act on:

01Board oversight and governance of AI
02Cyber and information security, including controls for agentic systems
03Supplier management and concentration
04Integrated assurance across the three lines of defence
03 · CPS 234 and the point

You still owe a record

CPS 234, Information Security, sits next to CPS 230 and covers the security of the systems that hold those records. Read together, they ask an entity to manage the risk and to be able to evidence what happened.

When an agent takes the action, you still owe APRA a record of what it did and why. Arkna keeps that record. Arkna does not provide legal or compliance advice, and does not certify an entity under CPS 230 or CPS 234.
