Star Entertainment has been suspended from the Australian Securities Exchange due to its failure to submit annual financial results by the due date, amid ongoing scrutiny over its governance and anti-money laundering practices. The suspension follows a critical report from the New South Wales Independent Casino Commission, which found that the company had not adequately addressed cultural issues that allowed criminal activities, including significant financial dealings with barred individuals. The report's findings, which were received on the same day Star was due to publish its results, have prompted further regulatory investigations into the company's operations. Star's casino license has been under suspension since October 2022 due to similar concerns, and the latest developments raise questions about its future viability. The firm had previously been accused of insufficiently vetting the sources of funds entering its business, which included dealings with individuals linked to serious crimes. As the company grapples with these challenges, its trading halt is seen as a response to the need for deeper scrutiny of its financial and operational conduct.
