The bank, however, immediately put in place monitoring mechanisms to further protect customers, it said.<\/p>\n<p>It also said the incident did not result in the compromise of CBA&#8217;s technology platforms, systems, services, apps, or websites.<\/p>\n<p>The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) on Monday published its <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apra.gov.au\/AboutAPRA\/Documents\/CBA-Prudential-Inquiry_Final-Report_30042018.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">report [PDF]<\/a> into CBA, which kicked off following a &#8220;number of incidents&#8221; in recent years that damaged the bank&#8217;s reputation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In brief, the panel has identified a number of shortcomings in CBA&#8217;s governance, culture, and accountability frameworks, particularly in dealing with non-financial risks, and has made a series of recommendations designed to strengthen these frameworks,&#8221; it wrote.<\/p>\n<p>CBA is also facing the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (Austrac) after it initiated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/commbank-blames-coding-error-for-some-alleged-money-laundering-breaches\/\">civil penalty proceedings<\/a> in August alleging that the bank had &#8220;serious and systemic non-compliance&#8221; with the <em>Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Austrac detailed 53,700 alleged breaches of the Act, which included failing to hand 53,506 threshold transaction reports (TTRs) for cash transactions over AU$10,000 to Austrac through intelligent deposit machines (IDMs) for almost three years between November 2012 and September 2015.<\/p>\n<p>The bank in December <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/cba-admits-disparate-data-contributed-to-anti-money-laundering-contravention\/\">admitted that disparate datasets<\/a> contributed to a contravention of the Act.<\/p>\n<p>CBA faces a maximum penalty of AU$18 million for each of the contraventions if found guilty; however, the bank <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/commonwealth-bank-pumped-au752m-into-tech-during-h1-2018\/\">in February said<\/a> it has provided for a civil penalty of AU$375 million.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The group believes this to be a reliable estimate of the level of penalty that a court may impose,&#8221; the bank wrote in its half-year results as it posted almost AU$5 billion in after-tax profit. &#8220;This takes into account currently available information, including legal advice received by the group in relation to Austrac&#8217;s claims.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The write-down is included in the bank&#8217;s H1 profit.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We recognise, and regret, that these costs arise from our failure to meet some standards that we should have.
