Are you one of the 89% of the Licensee population who hasn’t lodged a breach report to ASIC?
ASIC’s Report 775 released on 31 October shows that only 11% of licensees have lodged a report. This is a surprisingly low number and suggests that some licensees may not have in place the systems and processes required to detect and report breaches. Do you?
7 deadly sins and the advice process
What do the Seven Deadly Sins have in common with the Advice Processes? We explored the common sins we see causing ineffective advice processes and what businesses should be focusing on.
Government announces QAR response
Conrad Travers shares his thoughts about Minister Stephen Jones today’s announcements in mid June 2023 regarding the government’s response to the Quality of Advice Review (QAR).
A summary of the government’s response; assuming this passes the legislative process:
Safe harbour removed from BID.
Ongoing fee renewal (FDS) removed and fee consent to be consolidated in one industry wide form.
SOA replaced with "fit for purpose" advice record
Wholesale warnings to come in
Consent requirements for life, general and CCI
Joint submission to the Quality Advice Review
We welcome the opportunity to provide feedback on the Quality of Advice Proposals Paper published on the Treasury website 29 August 2022. As an overall comment, our three companies are committed supporters of a well-functioning financial advice industry and see the proposal as a significant step forward in terms of encouraging autonomy and professionalism in our industry.

Structural rethink needed for advice industry
One of the interesting insights to come out of the ‘How to Regulate Advice session at Professional Planner’s Best Practice Forum was ASIC’s assessment that licensees themselves were being too conservative around policy guidance. That is, it was observed that licensees were going far beyond ASIC’s guidance, which in some circumstances had been to the detriment of scaled advice.
